PEABODY senior center
Could it be that we have finally turned the corner and discovered spring? It seems to have been a long winter this year.
We will be closed Friday, March 14, in order to have a new kitchen faucet installed. We were advised it will take the better part of the day, so we have no option but to close. Watch this article to find out when the make-up meal will be.
Commodities will be distributed at the Senior Center from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 12.
There will be a menu change because of closing on Friday. The menu of western egg scramble will be eliminated and Thursday, March 13, will instead be barbecue pork and macaroni salad.
It was very fortunate for us that we were able to deliver extra meals during this blustery winter. That way, people did not have to get out in the cold and weather. Therefore, we didn?t have to have any makeup meals until now.
Our blarney breakfast will be from 7:30 a.m. until 10 a.m. Saturday, March 15. We will be serving biscuits and sausage gravy, cinnamon rolls, and fruit. Cost will be by donation, and you do not need reservations for this meal. Proceeds will be for continuing expenses and updates at our senior center.
Please come out and enjoy a great breakfast with friends and neighbors and help support your Senior Center.
Our local board meeting is at 9:30 a.m. Monday, March 17. Please feel free to attend and learn about and contribute to our local activities and agendas.
Lenten services will be each Wednesday after the noon meal until Easter. Please come join us for these devotions. This week Marilyn Cox will be here, and next week, March 19, pastor David Ragland will be here.
Bingo is Thursday, March 20, and we encourage you to grab a candy bar or two and play a card. It is a lot of fun and a time to visit with friends and neighbors.
Marion County Board will meet here on March 21. There will be a coffee followed by the meeting. Please make your reservations by Wednesday to attend. Our phone number is 620-983-2226.
We always welcome everyone to come by 106 N. Walnut or call us. It would be a pleasure to see you or talk to you about our senior center. We always have wonderful meals and strive to have interesting and informative information presented or available.
Meals are a suggested donation of $3.15 for those age 60 or older, and only $5 for everyone under age 60.
