Marion senior center
We’ve been doing some trivia this week, a couple days of “Peanuts” comic strip, which people knew well.
I picked out three of the least embarrassing toilet trivia questions to ask one day also.
Marlene Bernhardt brought treats for her birthday Oct. 24. Connie Fisher brought in a big bag of animal crackers for us to enjoy.
We had a good crowd on Oct. 26 for the program by Don Hodson. He showed pictures of his work with a medical mission to Uganda. Included were little girls wearing dresses from the Sew Much Love project at Eastmoor United Methodist Church.
Several people from Hilltop Manor attended the program.
We will host the ONE committee Nov. 2. This includes the site managers from Hillsboro, Marion and Peabody.
Come join us Nov. 8 when Scott Akers, medical doctor, will present the program.

PEABODY SENIOR CENTER
We had a busy week with Gayla Ratzlaff, coordinator for the Department on Aging, here for open enrollment.
We had two sessions baking peppernuts, and they are being packaged up already being sold.
The peppernuts are one way to help keep our center going and we appreciate all the volunteers who help.
November is here and the center was open Halloween night as part of the Trunk and Treat downtown. It’s always such a fun time seeing the children’s costumes and guessing who is who.
Don’t forget to fall back on Nov. 6 when Daylight Saving Time ends.
Our birthday dinner is Nov. 9 with baked chicken, piano playing and our guest speakers from Bluestem PACE will be here to present their program and have time for questions.
They are a program of all-inclusive care for the elderly. They cover several counties and Marion is included. You are invited to come and join us.
Anyone who can help by volunteering to drive, helping in the kitchen or finding an hour to come and join us we look forward to having you. on.
The suggested donation for meals is for age 60 and over, $3.50. For those 59 and under, it’s $5.25.
Volunteers are needed from time to time, please call us at 620-983-2226.
