NORTH WEBSTER – There’s more on the menu than pancakes and sausage at the North Webster Community Center (NWCC) from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday.
Thanks to a partnership involving the NWCC, the Lakeland North Webster Kiwanis, Goshen Physicians and the North Webster Community Public Library, the building will be bursting with holiday excitement, according to NWCC Executive Director Emily Worrell.
Santa will pose for photos in the new Culver Family Wellness Center and plans call for ornament-making in the Goshen Physicians Family Medicine Clinic and free sleigh rides outside the library.
Then, the public is invited to walk the festive halls filled with community members handing out holiday treats for kids.
“This special morning is really about opening our building for our community members and filling them with the holiday spirit,” said Worrell. “We had such great feedback from our Haunted Halls event, we thought we would create the same idea for Christmas time.”
The community center’s chief mission in these and future events, noted Worrell, is to provide opportunities and accessibility to healthy lifestyles, community engagement and volunteerism. “Come be part of your community and bring the kiddos in their holiday jammies, or their festival outfits,” Worrell said. “Either way, get to the community center at 301 N. Main Street, North Webster, on Saturday morning.”
The NWCC is home to the Kosciusko County YMCA, Senior Primelife Enrichment Center (SPEC), The Watershed Foundation (TWF), the Tippy/Chapman Sewer District, NWCC Massage, Chubbies Pub n Grub Catering plus - now preparing to open its doors at the Center - the Goshen Physicians Family Medicine North Webster Clinic and a host of youth and adult programs.
