Intergenerational Speed Friendshipping
<p>Adults of all ages are invited for a free afternoon of speed “friendshipping” on Tuesday, September 26 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Senior Center, located at 28 S. Linn Street in Iowa City. Using a speed dating format (but for making friends rather than dating), you’ll have a chance to meet and chat with community members of all ages, have some fun, and potentially take the first step in creating new and lasting friendships. We’ll start with a group ice breaker activity, shift to one-on-one conversations, and wrap up with open socializing and snacks from a build-your-own trail mix bar.</p><p><br></p><p>Everyone has stories, experiences, and perspectives to share. This is an opportunity to connect and share with people from different generations and peers alike, and maybe even challenge some assumptions on both ends of the age spectrum.</p><p>This is the inaugural event of The Center's intergenerational social group, a collaboration of Senior Center members, University of Iowa students, and community members of all ages. The group has planned monthly events this fall to encourage people of all ages to get together and make connections across generations in a fun and informal setting. The group hopes to provide members of the public with opportunities to get more involved in the community, stimulate their social routines, break down barriers between age groups, meet new people, and have fun with adults of all ages.</p><p><br></p><p>The event is free to attend and open to all. Call 319-356-5220 to sign up or RSVP on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/930431960429286/?ref=46.</p><p><br></p><p>**Save the Date**: The group’s next event is an intergenerational board game social on Tuesday, October 24 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.</p> 2017-09-20 18:30:00 -0500

Spay-ghetti & No Balls" Pasta Dinner & Wine Pull
<p>“Spay-ghetti & No Balls” Pasta Dinner & WINE PULL</p><p>A benefit for Iowa Humane Alliance <br>Tuesday, September 26th <br>Zio Johno’s Spaghetti House—755 7th Ave Marion Iowa 52302 <br>For more information call 319-363-1225 or visit iowahumanealliance.org </p><p>$18 Dinner includes: Your choice of spaghetti marinara, fettuccini alfredo, or vegetable lasagna, bread, salad and a glass of wine, tea or soft drink. </p><p><br>$10 Kids 12 and under: Spaghetti marinara, bread, a cookie and soft drink</p><p>Stop in anytime from 5:00pm to 9:00pm. No reservation necessary! </p><p>Our on-going mission at Iowa Humane Alliance is to provide access to affordable high quality spay/neuter services for Eastern Iowa pets and strays. A lesser-known sub-clause in our mission statement is this: to hold awesome and super-delicious fundraising events that cause our supporters to get out of the house and have serious gustatory and vino-culture-ish fun now and then. (Not that you don’t have fun on your own. But not THIS much fun.)</p><p>Accordingly, IHA is ecstatic to announce our upcoming “Spay-ghetti & No Balls” Pasta Dinner and Wine Pull at Zio Johno’s Spaghetti House in Marion on Tuesday, Spetember 26th.<span> </span></p><p>Now, a “Wine Pull” is nothing like a Tractor Pull, no matter what you’ve heard. A Wine Pull is a de<span>al where you get to take home a special bottle of wine, and possibly a super-deluxe-bottle of wine, when you take part in this “everyone wins!” event. How can everyone win? Because everyone who plays, gets wine! So that’s a win in our book. Maybe yours too. Participants pay just $10 to play. Every $10 makes you eligible to choose from a variety of wines that have been artfully disguised to keep you guessing! And in the end, every participant takes home a bottle and, here’s the awesome part: it could be a very extra-special-but-you-dese</span>rve-it-for-supporting-IHA $30 value or more, bottle of wine! So, no tractors involved at all.<span> </span></p><p>As for the scrumptious meal part of the deal: attendees can choose from three mouth-watering entrees with salad, bread and a glass of wine, tea or a soft drink. Kids under 12 choose from spaghetti marinara, bread, a cookie and soft drink.<span> </span></p><p>No reservation is necessary! Just stop in at the Marian Zio Johno’s anytime from 5pm to 9pm on September 26th.<span> </span></p><p>By taking part in this way-fun event, you’ll be helping IHA continue to provide valuable services for pets and their people in Eastern Iowa. Please, support us and have big fun, stellar food and wine-pull-winning at the same instant! Bring your friends and neighbors too, OK?! Thanks from us and the animals!</p> 2017-08-04 21:00:00 -0500
