AUBURN – The First Auburn Senior Citizens will meet at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 18, at Hasty Community Center, Pettengill Park. A lasagna dinner will be served and members should bring their own cups and table utensils. There will be no raffle table.

Following the meeting and dinner, bingo will be played. Women are requested to create and wear their own version of the ideal Easter hat, with a prize awarded for the most original.

The group met April 4 under the direction of President Caroline Chapman with only 40 members present due to the inclement weather. A successful food auction was held, with Roy Tassinari as auctioneer with the help of volunteer assistants.
