MARION SENIOR CENTER
Looking back to Thanks?giving Day, I realize how thankful we are for our volunteers who deliver meals, play our daily table grace and come in to set up the dining room tables and dish up lunch.
We became a coffee meeting place on Dec. 2. Several women who grew up in Marion and went to Marion High School needed a place to meet. They ate lunch with us and stayed to visit.
Clayton Hamm celebrated his 80th birthday with us on Dec. 3, providing ice cream cups for us. His daughter, Shirley Riffel, joined Clayton and Wanda for lunch.
After lunch Gerry Hen?der?son and Keith Allison started the season with Christmas music. We sang the first verse of several Christmas carols, because ?everyone knows one verse,? Gerry told us.
Join us on Senior Center Day, Dec. 17. We will be entertained by the MHS singers after lunch.
