Peabody senior center
We had quite a bit of excitement at the Peabody Senior Center June 10.
Phil Cihiwsky of San Diego, Calif., is walking across the country in support of Meals on Wheels and Senior Meal Programs.
His itinerary had him walking through Peabody so we were able to have a reception for him and also had a meal prepared for him as he was scheduled to spend the night in Peabody.
We were all excited as we did a very impromptu reception and meal and let the people eating lunch know we were having the special meal in his honor.
Everyone that was available to attend seemed to have a good time.
Our monthly birthday dinner is Wednesday, June 12, and we will honor all the people with June birthdays.
We will have a presentation about Oliver tractors, which should prove to be very interesting. Please try to join us.
The local board meeting is June 17 and we encourage anyone interested in our senior center and the events we are having to come and participate.
Everyone?s input is important in having a center people can participate in and attend.
Show ‘n Tell is Tuesday, June 18. Bring in whatever is of interest to you that can be carried in and share the item with us.
There are always lots of diversified things that people bring in and share with us.
Please gather up something that you enjoy and share it.
You can contact us at 106 N. Walnut or call, 620-983-2226.
Please come by for a meal or to drink a cup of coffee and visit, or just say, ?Hello.?

Volunteers are also welcome.
