A Lunch ‘n Learn at the Oak Ridge Senior Center on Friday will focus on local legend John Hendrix, known to some as “The Prophet of Oak Ridge.”

The presentation is titled “Who is John Hendrix—and what does he have to do with you?” Oak Ridge resident Jack Mansfield will present an impersonation of Hendrix.

The Lunch ‘n Learn is scheduled from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday at the Oak Ridge Senior Center. Living Water Christian Fellowship will provide hamburgers and hotdogs for the event.

Interested people who are 50 years old or older are welcome to attend. Each senior is welcome to bring one additional person under 50.
