Vaccine Clinics Continue, Party at the MAC; Support Group Launches for Single Parents

COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics Continue
Visitors are continuing to stop by the Senior Center for COVID-19 vaccines: Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Walk-ins are welcome for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on Mondays, May 17 & 24, and June 7 from 8:30 to 11:45 a.m. Moderna clinics – 2^nd dose – are scheduled for Wednesdays, May 19 & 26, and June 2 & 9 beginning at 8:30 a.m. Visit the COVID-19 Connection for more information. As an added convenience, coming up next week, residents have another resource—on Tuesday and Thursday, The Mount Peninsula Church is holding Walk-Up Clinics for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Stop by either day between 2 and 6:30 p.m. for this single-dose vaccination. You can also reserve your spot by registering online.

Parks and Recreation has Programs for All Ages
Parks and Recreation is bringing people back together to celebrate senior citizens. Seniors age 55 and older (and their spouses regardless of age) are invited to the McReynolds Athletic Complex (MAC) on Wednesday, June 2, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a hotdog lunch, goodie bag, and musical entertainment by Phil Poteat. Please register by May 27. Junior golfers of all abilities may register for a half-day Kiskiack Golf Camp where emphasis will be placed on etiquette, rules, swing fundamentals, and the short game. Camp is held August 2-5. More information is available online. Moonlight & Music returns to New Quarter Park (1000 Lakeshead Drive) on Wednesday, May 26, at 7 p.m. Join local musician Joe Duggan for a round-robin style acoustic jam session. Play along, sing along, or just sit back and enjoy the tunes. For more information, call (757) 890-5840.

A Support Group for Single Parents Begins May 20
If you are a single parent of a child between the ages of 12 and 18, please consider joining this support group for an hour of discussion, strategies, and…as the name states…support! Single parents are often overlooked and underserved in the parenting world, and York County Juvenile Services is hoping to help eliminate that by hosting this group. The meeting is held from 6 to 7 p.m. via Zoom. For login info or more details, please email Carolyn.McCloud@yorkcounty.gov.
