Mill Creek Village (MCV) has a Dining Club for senior residents in our community. They dine out monthly and all senior residents are welcome. Most recently, the club members have enjoyed lunches at Yu Noodles in Rockville, Dogfish Head Alehouse in Gaithersburg, and Yu Zhou Cafe in Gaithersburg. The group photo below was taken at the latter outing in Gaithersburg. Since the club was initiated, the group has enjoyed eating at more than a dozen eating establishments. For our December dinner, we will be meeting at Outta the Way Cafe 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 Joe Ginther by phone at 301-926-4985 or by email at josephginther@hotmail.com to share your interest. He will put you on the e-mail list to receive notices of upcoming dining club events.
