Dear John

Starring

Amanda Seyfried
Channing Tatum

Director Lasse Hallström and screenwriter Jamie Linden collaborate to adapt author Nicholas Sparks' novel about a young soldier who falls for an idealistic college girl. Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) was on spring break when she first met John Tyree (Channing Tatum), who was home on temporary leave. For the smitten soldier it was practically love at first sight. Over the course of the next seven years, when each deployment seemed more treacherous than the last, the love letters that Savannah sent to John were one of the only things that kept him going. However, those loving and heartfelt correspondences would ultimately yield consequences that neither the brave soldier nor his one true love could have ever foreseen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Senior of the Month
September

Linda Daley

Linda was born and raised in Elkhart, Indiana. She graduated from Elkhart High School.

Linda’s first employment was with a government agency in Washington, D.C. There she met her former husband, an officer in the U.S. Army. They were stationed at various military bases and spent two years in the Middle East. While there Linda home schooled her two children, Peter and Don. They were able to travel quite extensively and visited many sites in Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon. The holy sites in Israel and the pyramids in Egypt were among the highlights of their excursions. Living there was challenging but educational.

Linda moved to Pemberton Township in 1981 and was employed by the Pemberton Township Police Department. She was the Secretary for the Detective Division for twenty-eight years. Linda created and was the webmaster for the Police website. She became acquainted with many members of the center while serving lunch with other members of the Police Department and on senior trips.

Linda is a graduate of Burlington County College. Her hobbies include reading, gardening, senior trips and traveling. She enjoys spending time with her granddaughter Eleanor who is five.

Linda joined the senior center as soon as she retired and also joined the Senior Citizens Club. She enjoys the camaraderie of the center and the exercise class. The seniors have been very friendly and welcoming.

Senior Joke of the Month

A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight...

The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easy.

So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.

The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and trys to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, saying the game is a lot of fun. 'I ask a question, and if you don't know the answer you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer I will pay you $500.'

This catches the senior's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question, 'What's the distance from Earth to the moon?'

The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches in his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.

Now it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the net.

He sends emails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.

He wakes the senior and hands him $500. The senior pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

The Pemberton Township Senior Center staff and volunteers are committed to providing quality, well-rounded, affordable programs and services in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. Each day we will lift spirits by sharing enthusiasm, compassion, support and kindness in a diverse setting.
