In December, just before the snow and sub-zero temperatures approached St. Louis, Crown Center’s Meals on Wheels volunteers and volunteer drivers swiftly adjusted the bi-weekly delivery schedule. Each volunteer changed their plans and showed up a day early. Fresh, healthy, kosher meals were quickly prepared and delivered with a delicious Hanukkah treat of sufganiyot, thanks to special funding from the Kahn Foundation. Meals on Wheels recipients, some who are homebound, were appreciative of not only the early meal deliveries, but the extra effort made to recognize Hanukkah.

Crown Center for Senior Living provides affordable, high-quality living and services to enable residents to flourish independently; and create inspiring programming to enable both residents and other community seniors to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, honoring Jewish values and traditions.

A group of around 20 Beatles fans came to the multipurpose room of the Mirowitz Center on Jan. 24 to hear Beatles expert Neil Davis offer inside details about the making of “Rubber Soul.”

One attendee was Linda Markowitz, who saw the group live at Shea Stadium at age 11 in 1966. She arrived at Mirowitz Center event with her Beatles sweatshirt.

“I’ve been listening to them since I was 3 years old,” said Markowitz, 67. “I’ve been a fan since I was a little girl.”
