PEABODY senior center

We’ve had lots of fun earlier this week and last week, too.

Starting May 9, Rachel Peabody was gracious in providing our seniors with much needed back and hand massages. Truly enjoyable. Wednesday, May 11, was our birthday party. We really had a great turnout. Sonja Koslowsky of Peabody, played the piano during lunch and afterwards we had a sing-a-long.

Such a great day, to sit and visit with ones we haven’t seen for awhile. May 12, Gayla Ratzlaff, coordinator for Marion County Department on Aging, had lunch with us. She brought activity books that are al­ways full of ideas to use at our center. She took time to answer a few questions and gave us some good ideas.

We have our board meeting at 9 a.m. May 16. A blood drive was also at Gracepoint Church, 802 Vine.
