3 Budget Woes
$
As you may have read, the Montgomery County Government is experiencing a significant budget shortfall.
As a result, cuts to programs, activities, and services must be considered to balance the budget. Because the
Guide goes to press before the budget process is completed, some of the programs or activities listed in this
Guide may be modified or eliminated. Additionally, facility hours and schedules listed in this Guide are also
subject to change.
Why the change? In an effort to save money and the environment, we will be printing fewer copies of the
Guide. Beginning in the Summer 2011 issue, printed Guides will be mailed to subscribers only. The $5 covers
postage and handling for mailing five Guides for the year (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer Camps).
Think Green!
Subscribe by April 2 to ensure you’re on the mailing list to receive the Summer 2011 Guide!

About the Montgomery County Senior Luncheon Program
Adequate nutrition is critical to the health, functioning, and quality of life of everyone.
It is an important component of home and community-based services for older people.
This US Administration on Aging funded program improves the dietary intakes of
participants and offers participants opportunities to form new friendships and create
support networks. The legislative intent is to make community-based services available
to aging in place adults who may be at risk of losing their independence. Meals served
under the program provide at least one-third of the recommended dietary allowances
established by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, as well
as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, issued by the Secretaries of Departments
of Health and Human Services. Menus are available at each Nutrition Program site.
Lunch reservations must be made two working days in advance. Cancellations should
be made directly to the site manager. A volunteer contribution is requested from
persons age 60 and over. The cost of the meal is $5.92. Contributions are used to
purchase more meals. Participants are asked to contribute what they can.

The Amish Experience – A Tour of Amish Sites In and Around Lancaster, Pennsylvannia
Trip number: 295409 Thursday, April 14
We have scheduled this tour to accommodate all of those on
the large waiting lists from Fall 2009 and for those who heard
from their friends how much they enjoyed this tour.
Enjoy the Amish Experience on a professionally guided riding
tour around the Amish countryside. View an “experiential
theater” film that tells the story of an Amish Family from
Europe to America. The special effects take each spectator
into the world of the Amish. You’ll take a guided tour of
Amish Farmlands and the Amish countryside. Not much has
changed on their back-roads …horses plow the fields and
buggies clip-clop down the road. The guide will point out
and explain many aspects of Amish life with interesting local stops. You’ll enjoy a “Family Style
Meal at Plain & Fancy”, included, that features a sampling of local specialties. The food is part
of the experience. Take an Amish house tour designated a “Heritage Site.” Enjoy the “lived-in”
look of the house as you walk through nine rooms. Your guide will answer the “how” and
“why” that baffle visitors about Amish dress and life without electricity. An autographed Amish
Cookbook is included as a souvenir.
Fee: $75 Leave 7:15 am, Return 6:30 pm
Walking Tour of the Ladew Topiary Gardens and Mansion in Harford County
Trip number: 295420 Wednesday, May 18

architecture and sculpture provides an extraordinary horticultural perception. We’ll be guided

and fox hunting memorabilia. Included is a lunch consisting of a Classic Boars Head turkey
breast sandwich, provolone cheese, and cranberry mayonnaise, house dessert, iced tea or soft
drink.
