Senior Center Report
Currently I am working on special activities for the fall. Activities include Saturday
Night Specials (arranging caters & entertainers), Men's and Women's club speakers and
outings, and finalizing all fine details for the upcoming winter trip schedule.
On Monday, July 3~d the Senior Center hosted an Open House from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.
The attendance was great! There were several seniors who attended the Open House
who had never visited the Senior Center before. The Woodcarving Club and Stamping
Club had a booth displaying some of their projects. This was a great eye catcher for all
of the visitors who attended!
