MARION SENIOR CENTER
As we approach Thanksgiving, we realize how much our volunteers do to keep the center going.
We are so thankful for our daily meal delivery people, our dining room helpers and everyone who joins us for the noon meal.
On Veterans Day, we observed the occasion by repeating the ?Pledge of Allegiance? to the flag, did some military trivia and closed by singing the ?National Anthem.?
Winslow Haselwood, a New York Life Insurance Co. agent, talked to us Nov. 13 about preparing financially for retirement.
Larry and Thelma Blosser celebrated their anniversary with us Nov. 13, bringing candy bars as treats.
Come join us for our Thanksgiving on Nov. 27. Th ere will be a program before lunch.
