Senior Center Report
This past month the Senior Center has been a busy place_ Approximately 485 visits were
recorded during the month of February. Considering that February is generally a heavy
"go south" month, we had a good and steady turnout.
Saturday Night Specials - Our Irish night on March 6th drew a large crowd of 38 people.
All enjoyed a meal of Irish stew and piano playing by Diane Preditis. Our next event is
Scandinavian Night on Saturday, April 10 from 5-7 p.m.
Trips - Seven people went on the day trip to Owatonna. I received mostly a good report;
however, they felt too much time was spent at Cabelas (2 hours). The Old Log Theater
trip was run on March 11 and 15 people carpooled to have lunch and watch "A Perfect
Wedding."
Our next scheduled trip is to St. Paul for a tour of the Capitol, the Conservatory and a
few other stops on April 29. I have also been asked to check on purchasing tickets to see
the Titanic Exhibit before the end of April.
Congregate Dining/Meals on Wheels - Has continued to be used steadily and groups like
men's and women's clubs are using it as a continuation for social time after their
meetings. Last week several of the meals drew complaints and these were passed on to
CAP people.
Miscellaneous - Two travel presentations scheduled for this month, one on Alaska
which was held on March 2 (6 people) and one on Hawaii (which is set for March 23).
Tax aid is completely full for the March 18m date and I anticipate the same for the
remaining two dates scheduled. A carpool trip has been set to go to Holasek's for
discount shopping on March 27.
Finally, Kara is returning Monday, March 29. We will be serving a welcome back cake
in the Senior Center at 10:00 a.m. that day. She has been missed and I'm told she is
looking forward to returning after a 12 week leave. I have thoroughly enjoyed filling in
at the Senior Center and appreciate the opportunity I had to return for 3 months. Thank
you.
