Silver Bell Senior Breakfast

Breakfast 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

New this year, the Silver Bell Breakfast is a meaningful morning thoughtfully curated for seniors in the Lewis-Clark Valley. This is an opportunity to celebrate, honor, and connect with valued members in our community. The exclusive preview of beautifully decorated trees will be free from crowds, long lines, and littles who can sometimes make maneuvering canes and wheelchairs difficult. Join us for a morning perfect for starting the holiday season amongst friends and loved ones.
