BRADENTON BEACH – The Annie Silver Community Center has new officers, elected Jan. 10 after many meetings were suspended due to COVID-19.
The board has been without a president since former President Linda Yarger announced she was resigning as of Sept. 30. The office of vice president was also open, but electing new officers was delayed by a lack of candidates and low attendance at meetings.
On Jan. 10, board members unanimously elected Jim Hassett as president, Donna Kirkpatrick as vice president, Judy Pruitt as secretary and Dianne Coates as treasurer.
The board also discussed its first dinner of 2022, set for Wednesday, Jan. 26 from 5-7 p.m. Big Dogg Bar B Que will be serving up meals for only $10 to eat at the center or take home. The center will be hosting dinners at least once a month, and anyone in the community is invited to come and have a great meal and mingle with neighbors.
Bingo is also back at Annie Silver, with games every Thursday at 6 p.m. Cake, coffee, soda and water will be available. Everyone is invited; membership is not required.
