it’s a nice daytrip to drive up the coast from the Central Coast Seniors Center to the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, San Simeon. The lighthouse has been turned over to the Bureau of Land Management. This video takes you on a tour and talks about the restoration.
In case you didn’t make it over for the holiday festivities by the Pismo Pier, here is a look at the tree lighting, Santa, and fun.
The blog/website for Central Coast Seniors Center continues to be busy with 1,217 visitors in the month of November, 2009. Since September of 2007, when the site was started, there have been 20,109 views of it as of Dec. 2009.
If you think you worked hard on your Christmas lights wait until you see this video. This display was the work of Carson Williams, a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the 16,000 Christmas lights in his annual holiday lighting spectacular (from Christmas 2004). His 2005 display includes over 25,000 lights that he spent nearly two months and $10,000 to hook up. So that the Williams’ neighbors aren’t disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house are informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment.
The video has been viewed on youtube over 5 million times since it was first uploaded.
Bingo will return Jan. 8, 2010. During the holidays the volunteers for the Bingo events will take a well deserved vacation.
Many, many thanks to all those wonderful volunteers who make it possible to have Bingo at the Central Coast Seniors Center. If you have a bit of time available and would like to share a fun time with others please don’t hesitate to volunteer to help out with Bingo. Contact Betty Milne or leave a message with the front desk at the Center.
Thanks again to all of you volunteers. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate you!
