We want to thank everyone for supporting our center.

We also have some big expenses coming up to include putting a return air vent in now.

We also need to replace another air conditioner and heating unit this year.

Anyone who would like to donate would be helping so much and everyone who uses the facility would be grateful.

Last year we replaced one unit, but we have another unit needing to be switched out.

MARION SENIOR CENTER

I?ve spent this week with very little voice or a squeaky one. Or as one caller later said, I sounded ?pitiful.?

We welcomed the coffee/lunch bunch back Jan. 6.

There were eight women who get together often as present or former Marion residents and classmates.

Barb Smith has presented the Marion Memories book set to us. They are great to look at.

Gary and Karen Chaput have delivered Meals on Wheels for many years, but they are moving to Missouri. They will be missed.

Our new volunteer driver is Myrta Billings.

Come join us on Senior Center Day. Barb Smith will talk about being a representative payee for persons who need help with social security benefits.

We are closed Jan. 19 for Martin Luther Kind Jr. Day.

When the weather is bad, watch the television for school closings.

If Marion schools close for weather, we are also closed.
