The volunteers on each day received a pin say, ?Volunteers Make a World of Difference,? and they do.

PEABODY senior center
Hopefully we are not getting teased this time and spring is really here. I see the robins, the jonquils, and trees budding out and can’t help but believe it might be time to welcome spring.
We are all saddened that Kim Nellans, our cook for over six years, has submitted her resignation.
Everyone has enjoyed and appreciated her delicious cooking and the wonderful meals she has continuously served each weekday for the diners that come in, carry out, and the Meals on Wheels recipients. We wish her well but will miss her too.
Applications are available at the Senior Center if you are a cook and interested in a position.
Please stop by 106 N. Walnut between 9 a.m. and noon.
The final Lenten Service will be Wednesday, April 16, after the noon meal.
Larry Timm of Gracepoint Church will lead the devotion.
The Good Friday service will be at 7 p.m. April 18 at the Baptist Church with Jim Pohlman officiating.
Don’t forget our Good Friday brunch at 9:30 a.m. Friday, April 18.
This is a wonderful way to start off Easter weekend.
If you are going out of town you can eat a breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy and scrambled eggs before you leave, or if your company will be in early, call in reservations and bring them with you.
Reservations are necessary for this brunch, and the regular prices are in effect. People 60 years and older pay $3.15, and the cost is $5 for anyone 59 and younger.
We have a newer hospice called Progressive. The information about this service will be presented by Jessica Schaedel. She says she will have door prizes, so be sure to come.
Our local board meeting is Monday, April 21, and the Senior Citizens of Marion County board meeting will be April 25. Our business meeting and our volunteer appreciation lunch will be Tuesday, April 29.
Volunteers are encouraged to join us so we can acknowledge them and what they do for us
For those who aren?t volunteers, please come and be sure to help say, “thank you” to all those wonderful people who are.
Without volunteers we surely would not be able to provide meals each work day to seniors. They literally keep us going.
For more information or to apply for the cook?s position or make reservations, stop by the center at 106 N. Walnut St. in Peabody or call us at (620) 983-2226.
