HILLSBORO senior center
We are unable to take anymore reservations for the Valentine’s Day meal at noon Feb. 14. Even though we can’t accept any other dine-in reservations, people can still get a meal at 11 a.m.
Our sing-a-long is Thursday, Feb. 15, after lunch.
We are working on fundraising ideas. One thought was having a St. Patrick’s Day meal, complete with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, rolls and dessert, but we need to see how many people would want to come.
If somebody has any other ideas for a fundraising event to benefit the center, we would like to hear them.
We have a need for volunteers; anybody who helps will receive a free meal.
Anyone interested in substituting as a cook when our head cook needs time off, or for other reasons can’t make it in, please stop by and apply. This could be a great position for a retired person who wants to do some cooking.
We want to thank all our new board members and present board members for their time and support.
Don’t forget that we have meal tickets available for purchase, and they are good gift ideas.
For more information, or to find out about volunteering or program ideas, call 620-947-2304 or stop by 212 N. Main St., Hillsboro. You get a meal the day you help.

Marion senior center
We understand that Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow on Groundhog Day, predicting six more weeks of winter.
That day also was Wear Red Day to highlight women’s heart health. A lot of us did wear red that day.
Our head cook came back to work Feb. 5, glad to be back to prepare meals for us.
Our program Feb. 7 was given by Heather Fay of Fay Family Chiropractic. She gave us much information we can use.
Join us Feb. 21 for Senior Center Day.
Meals are $3.50 for age 60-plus and $5.25 for age 59 and under. For more information or to make meal reservations, call 620-382-2942 or stop by at 309 S. Third St., Marion.
