The center is planning several events in the coming weeks with Bingo kicking off activities Wednesday, May 23.

We would also like to encourage everyone to wear their summer hats May 25.

This month’s birthday dinner was scheduled May 21 because the center is closed for the Memorial Day weekend May 28.

Come join us after lunch May 30 when Mary Lake of El Dorado will talk about her first novel, “Departings.”

Born in El Dorado, she will chronicle life in her hometown and in Eureka, where she grew up. The book, according to information about it and the author, deals with the impact of El Dorado’s oil boom and ups and downs of those living there in the 1920s, who started out with so much.

Remember everyone...
