hillsboro senior center

We had the 18-county North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging board members here July 18 for their annual meeting.

On July 19, we will have Dr. Zafar here at 11 a.m. for hearing-aid checks; at 12:30-3 p.m. Marion Home Health will be here for foot care. We have one spot open yet, so call for more information. On July 20, we have sing-a-long with Jerald and Shirley. On July 21 we have show-and-tell, or bring anything to share. On July 31 we will have our birthday dinner at noon; we hope you can join us. We want to thank everyone who braved the rain for the farmers market on Thursday.

We need a substitute cook for the center; the hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the pay is $7.25 an hour. If you are interested, talk with us. We also need a substitute dishwasher from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at $7.25 an hour.

We have great fellowship at the center. We also need volunteers; you get your meal free the day you help. The hours are 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. We hope someone out there would enjoy helping at the center.

PEABODY SENIOR CENTER

Sure was nice to see a little rain and cloud cover, but sounds like we have more triple digits in the near future.

We had a terrific birthday dinner July 12. Sadie Decker turned 100 on July 17. We celebrated a little early; she had family coming from Colo­rado and El Dorado. Her son, Darrel, read a bit of her life history, which was so neat to hear. The children hosted an open house July 16, so folks could wish her well.

After the dinner celebration, Myrta Billings gave a wonderful presentation on the many uses of seasoning with herbs and spices. She will be doing two more presentations in August and September.

We had our board meeting July 17; anytime you wish to attend, please come. Physician Randolph Whitely will be giving a program on skin cancer July 21.

The Senior Citizens of Marion County meeting will be July 21 at Burns; our business meeting will be July 25 right after lunch.

Come for a meal and be a part of the senior center. Just remember that we are here to serve you, and this center is here for you. We can deliver to your door; if you come in to dine, we even have an automatic door, so check us out. Just think, you may even become a volunteer. And bring a friend.
