PEABODY SENIOR CENTER
Hope everyone survived the storm last week. We were without electricity from 6:30-9 p.m, but the senior center didn’t lose power. We were grateful for that.
Lots of branches and a few trees were damaged, but there wasn’t any hail. Weather forecasters said Peabody had about 2 inches of rain. It was a great week with the birthday dinner on June 14, and Sonja Koslowsky played the piano.
Gayla Ratzlaff, coordinator, Marion County Department on Aging was here with farmers market checks.
Anyone who is 60 or older and meets the guidelines should call Ratzlaff at 620-382-3580 and give her this information.
On June 16 we visited with best friend Luba Holm Brinkman who hasn’t been able to come to the center. Her son, Richard, and two daughters, Liz and Debbie, brought her in to surprise everyone. They wanted their mother, and all of us to celebrate her birthday.
