Twin Pines Senior & Community Center
The Center is back in action, kicking off the year with a Mexican tradition of Three King’s Cake (Rosca de Reyes) with some spicy hot chocolate. Several community members as well as Belmont staff got to enjoy this warm treat, perfect for the chilly weather, and baked only this time of year!
Next week will be the re-introduction of the weekly movies, as well as the Crafts Group and Sewing & Quilting Group. For more information on these programs, please call (650) 595-7444 or go to www.belmont.gov/adults
The Hideout
After a long break, the teens are back and did not miss a beat creating their culinary perfections, including strawberry cheesecake smoothies and chicken and beef street tacos. The group learned the basics of flavoring and cooking meat. Other fun included a two square tournament and free throw contest. Ending the week with the Barrett Olympics.
The hide provides a quiet place to do homework, and a safe place to gather with other local teens.
The Hideout is open Tuesday, Thursday & Friday from 3 - 5 pm and 1 - 5 pm on Wednesdays. Closed on Mondays.
