The seniors and other adults in the Hayden and surrounding areas certainly know how to have a wonderful Halloween luncheon. Many attendees are regulars but the room was filled with smiles, good conversations, laughter and great smelling food. Annie Hinojos along with her administrative assistant, Paula Romero, and the area case manager Lisa Martinez spend endless amounts of time preparing for special events for the Hayden Senior Center and the people who attend.

Hinojos compliments her staff and said, “I couldn’t do it without them or the help of the Town of Hayden.” We can only imagine the preparation for some of the events the Hayden Senior Center puts on. There is the processing of paperwork, purchasing the meal items, meal preparation, decorations of the senior center, goodie bags, purchasing items for goodie bags, preparing the goodie bags, and arranging transportation for people who need it.

Several seniors dressed up in costumes for the Halloween luncheon and really enjoyed themselves. There were a few members of the Hayden Junior of Commerce who came to help and also two representatives from the Central Arizona College Leadership helped with serving lunch and cleaning up. Officer Martinez of Gila County Corrections helped Hinojos with the drawings for prizes.

Hinojos and her staff held an enjoyable event. The people who attended had a well-rounded, healthy meal and the prize winners won gift bags with candy and other treats. The big prize was a basket filled with Halloween items, a blanket and candy. The atmosphere was very uplifting and people created nice memories.

The next Hayden Senior Center events are a Thanksgiving celebration which will be Nov. 14 and a Christmas Party (including Santa Claus) will be held Dec. 12. If interested or have any questions, contact the senior center at 520-356-7035. Thank you Annie Hinojos, Lisa Martinez, Paula Romero and the rest of the staff at Hayden Senior Center for all you do in making other people feel special and cared for.
