Peabody senior center

Peppernut baking season has begin with the first session under our belt. Don’t forget we still have more days of baking on Monday, Oct. 22, Thursday, October 25 and Monday, Oct. 29.

Baking peppernuts in November will start on Thursday, Nov. 1, Monday, Nov. 5, Thursday, Nov 8, Monday, Nov. 12, and we will finish up the baking on Thursday, Nov. 15. We will celebrate with a cookie party afterwards.

Thank you volunteers for showing up and doing such a good job. You are the best.

On Tuesday, Oct. 23, we had Bingo with Shaun Copeland.

On Wednesday, Oct. 24, Peggy Goertzen will be coming to our center and give a program on “The Prisoners of War”. Peabody had several prisoners held here, and they would work for farmers during the day and then come back to the Heckondorn building at night. We have had several people call in to be a part of the program, so I expect we will learn a lot about the role that the people of Peabody played during the time the prisoners were kept there.

Gayla Ratzlaff is scheduled to come to Peabody from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. on Oct. 25 and on Nov. 15 for Medicare Part D. You can call us and schedule an appointment with her.

Don’t forget on Oct 31 is Halloween and our special dinner. Wear a costume and get a treat. The Center will also take part in “Trunk or Treat” starting at 5 p.m., so if you have extra bags of candy, bring them here to the center. Last year, not only did we have candy here for everyone, but we gave away over 200 glow in the dark necklaces. Be sure to come, can’t wait to see your costumes.

We can still use volunteers, so if you can spare one day a week, 2 1/2 hours, would be awesome. You do make a difference!

November menus are now ready to pick up. Thank you for coming and dining with us. We are always glad to see you.

Meals are $3.50 for 60+ and $5.25 for 59 and under. Be sure to call and make a reservation.

Take advantage of our Meals on Wheels program, please call for information at 620-983-2226.
