Five Things to Know on July 12: Seniors Hear About Medicare from Congressman, Rep

It is Friday, July 12. Here are five things you need to know in Hamilton and Wenham: 

1. Clouds: Clouds are expected to dominate the sky on Friday, with temperatures in the 70s and less humidity. The son may peek through and there’s a chance of a shower in the afternoon too.

2. Seniors: Congressman John Tierney will be hosting a Medicare seminar for about 50 seniors, plus Council on Aging directors from Essex County, at the Hamilton Senior Center on Friday at 11:30 a.m. along with State Rep. Brad Hill. The seminar will discuss “observation” versus “inpatient” status and how it affects seniors financially and be followed by a light lunch.

3. Herbs: Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton will host a “Cooking with Herbs” session on Friday morning with “Chef Manny,” who will present some of his “wonderful and unusual combinations.” The class is $10 and limited to 12 participants and part of a series of classes that runs all summer at the farm.

4. Chicken: In the off chance you own a chicken costume, Friday is a great day to put it to use. Anyone who shows up at Chick-Fil-A, with a local location at the North Shore Mall in Peabody, on Friday fully dressed as a cow for Cow Appreciation Day, will get a free meal.

5. Peter Stewart: A free photography exhibit by Peter Stewart titled “invitation” opens on Friday at the Community House. The exhibit features photos of nature and is free and open to all during the Community House hours. The photos are for sale and the proceeds go to the Community House.
