We want to thank Joey Walter for all he has done at the center as a volunteer. We are blessed by his kindness.

As we settle into another month, Bonnie Sawyer from Marion Assisted Living will speak Wednesday, July 11.

We have a sign-up sheet for Tuesday, July 24, as we will be having a needle weaving class at 1:30 p.m., which will be lead by Janis Wright, our head cook. If you would like to join us or want more information, please call and we can add your name. It looks like it will be a great time.

With the end of June, we start a new month with a bang.

Everyone is encouraged to wear their red white and blue July 4 and on July 6 wear your summer hats to the center.

Someone might even get a prize for wearing their hat.

The center’s board meeting is July 9.

Come join us July 10 when Marion County Sheriff Rob Craft will be here. We hope to have a nice crowd join us that day for a meal and the program.

We still need volunteers for July and if someone can help, we urge them to give us a call. Remember, anyone who volunteers to help will get their meal free on that day.

HILLSBORO SENIOR CENTER

Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day.

This week we will have hearing aid checks with Haris Zafar at 11 a.m. June 20 along with a business meeting to include the senior center board.

June 20 also marks the first day of summer and hot weather. One way to get out of the heat is to stop by the center for a cup of coffee or even a cold glass of water and come and try us for a noon meal.

Charles Rempel will no longer collect cans but people can still drop them in the white barrels by the center’s back door and they will get picked up.

We want to thank everyone who has helped out with the cans.

The July calendars are now available and we encourage people to stop by and pick one up. We are grateful to Emprise...
