On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, a group of 15 from the Mill Creek Village (MCV) Dining Club met for lunch at Il Porto in Gaithersburg. It was nice to get together and socialize with our neighbors while enjoying a delicious Italian lunch!
MCV Dining Club is a group for senior residents in our Mill Creek Towne community. They dine out monthly and all senior residents are welcome. Most recently, the club members have enjoyed lunches at the Biscotti restaurant in Derwood, Boo Boo Pho in Montgomery Village, and Silver Diner in Gaithersburg. Since the club was initiated, the group has enjoyed eating at more than a dozen eating establishments. In November, we plan to have lunch at La Brasita in Derwood.
Socializing with others and averting isolation are important to one’s health and longevity. So, whether you live alone or not, you (and other seniors in your home) are invited to participate in the club and enjoy a good meal and some good neighborly camaraderie.
Village Board member Joe Ginther is the club coordinator, He informs potential participants about the monthly plans, receives their RSVPs, and then makes the necessary arrangements to ensure that the restaurant can accommodate everyone. The group has up to 19 attendees but typically draws 14-16 attendees. Joe also coordinates any carpools needed by those who in need of rides.
If you are one of our Mill Creek Towne seniors, aged 60 and older, who would enjoy breaking bread with other neighbors and making new friends, please contact us by email at mctvillage@gmail.com to share your interest. He will put you on the e-mail list to receive notices of upcoming dining club events.
Thanks, Joe looks forward to hearing from you!
Mark your calendars for our next event – our Pop Up Paint Party on Saturday, Nov. 7 @ 2:30pm. (NOTE: Space is limited to 20 people for this event.) Hope to see you there!
