It might be cold, but there’s still warmth inside the Holliston Senior Center this month. Early in the month, the V.F.W. and the American Legion will host their annual roast beef luncheon for the seniors on January 8th, at 12 p.m. The center will also have help with taxes for seniors, host a Falls Prevention class every Wednesday from 2:30-3:30 p.m. and offer lunch every Monday and Wednesday. Below are some other highlights this month:
