January book club selection:

“My grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry”

By Fredrick Backman

Elsa is seven years old; her grandmother is seventy-seven years old. She is Elsa's best, and only,

friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother's stories, in the Land of Almost-Awake and

the Kingdom of Miamas where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal. When Elsa's

grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, the

letters lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and totally ordinary

old crones... but also to the truth about fairytales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.

Join us Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at 1pm to discuss the book.

Please take note: To ALL Heritage Senior Center Members and Guests - Our Board of Directors encourages members who visit Heritage Senior Center, but do not eat lunch, to please donate if possible to participate in activities. As you know, we get our funding solely based on the number of people who join us for lunch. Please consider signing up for lunch so that we can be compensated from the Office of Aging, therefore supporting Heritage Senior Center. Please make reservations in the “lunch sign up book” at the front desk two business days in advance. Thank you for your continued support!

*PLEASE sign your name or initials on our clipboard when you arrive at the senior center. The YCAAA needs this information. *Remember to cancel your lunch as soon as possible if you cannot attend. *Also remember to call if you will be delayed so that we save your meal!

***PLEASE NOTE*** The YCAAA policy states we are ONLY able to give take out meals in cases where

someone is sick and unable to make it in to the senior center. (taken by a spouse or friend of the member.) We do not get funding at all from take out meals. Please only use this option when absolutely necessary. Also, YCAAA would like to remind us that a majority of the meal contents are meant to be eaten, not wasted and thrown away. Officially that means at least “51%” of the meal should be consumed.
