PEABODY SENIOR CENTER

We had a good turnout for the birthday dinner this past Wednesday Sonja played the piano before and throughout the dinner, her selections were beautiful. After the dinner, Dennis Riggs and Brad Nightengale from Peabody State Bank, did a question and answer time as to what will happen to the seniors checking accounts as Peabody State Bank has been sold and will be known as Vintage Bank Kansas as of Oct. 1, 2016. They were very patient and explained to our seniors what to expect and the positives of selling the bank. It’s always harder for us older folks to let go of what we have known for years but we adjust, right? The Avery family and their employees have been very faithful to all of us all these years, one of the good things from this sale is the employees will still be at the bank so this should ease our worries. We appreciate you, Shreves and your family, for all you do for this community.

Monday, Sept. 19, Shirley Davis gave chair massages. Tuesday, Sept. 20, the Sunflower Fair was held and we had some of our members attend, can’t wait to hear what they report back to us. Wed. Sept. 21, we will have different members of the Marion County Histor­i­cal Society lunch with us, we feel truly blessed we have women and men who help us keep our history alive in all of our little communities. Thurs. Sept. 22, Dinner with Joe Black, physician assistant, will dine with us and present us with updates of current procedures. Darcie Oursler and Sharee Sleetwood from American Senior Benefits will lunch with us on Sept. 27 and speak to us about what to expect when open enrollment starts with Medicare.

Just a reminder, Barn Quilt painting will be held with Sandy Heyman on Thursday, Sept. 29 10:00 a.m.
