During these cooler days, why not stop by and have a cup of coffee at the center or come have a meal with us?
We have plenty of fellowship and lots of stories to tell.

Marion senior center
We had a short week due to closing for Labor Day. We?ve also struggled to remember exactly what day of the week it is since then.
The center used the special placemats Barbara Abbott made Sept. 6 on ?Read a Book Day.?
The placemats had cutouts of red apples with A+ on them, the only A+ many of us have ever received.
Lenora Graham, a meal delivererer from Florence, brought treats Sept. 7 to celebrate her 91st birthday. Also on Sept. 7, Merle Ecklund provided accordion music for us.
