Haris Zafar will be at the center Aug. 19 to provide hearing checks, and Bingo is also available that day after lunch.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in Hat Day on Aug. 21 by wearing any kind of hat they might think could win them a prize.

Volunteers are still needed, along with someone to fill the dishwashing job from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that will be opening up soon.

Thanks go to everyone for their support and the donations to keep our center going. We are grateful for everyone?s generosity.

Anyone who might have a program they would like to share such as musical entertainment, pictures of trips or simply enjoying a meal is welcome.

For more information on these things, call 620-947-2304 or stop by 212 N. Main St. between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.

MARION SENIOR CENTER

We received a sack of cucumbers and tomatoes. Because we are allowed to use fresh produce in our meals, our cook took some of them early.

We started filling out surveys from the area agency. They were sent to our meal delivery customers. Some of the data is used when requesting funds from the state legislature.

Don?t forget to mark your calendars for our monthly brunch at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 28. We will feature the breakfast casserole with a cinnamon roll or a blueberry muffin. It?s a good way to close out the month with an early meal before starting those weekend plans.

Come by 106 N. Walnut and pick up your September calendar.

Call 620-983-2226 and make your reservations.

Everyone has adjusted well to the increase, but as with everything, the underlying cost increased so the meal price had to increase, too. The suggested donation for those 60 and older is now $3.50 and for all others is $5.25.

We appreciate all of you making reservations and eating with us. Our daily count has started increasing again, and that?s always a welcome change.
