Peabody Senior Center
We have moved into October and we had a ?treat? this week finalizing our books for the month of September.
We?ve posted attendance month to date and total goal on our sign-in sheets hoping to inspire people to eat an extra one or two meals during the month. It looks like it might be a good strategy.
Our goal is 800 total meals served each month and in August we totaled 688.
When the final tally was done for September we had served 720 total meals. It was a good job to everyone who came in and ate with us and contributed to the additional 32 meals served between August and September.
This now poses another goal of 800 in October, topping the 720 served in September. It?s like climbing a ladder. With everyone working together, I know we will reach the top and surpass the goal.
Fall will be a busy time around the center. We have birthday dinner scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 9 and hope you will mark it on your schedules.
?Dinner with the Doctor? will be Wednesday, Oct. 16, and Bingo will be after lunch Thursday, Oct. 17.
It is time to review and/or renew prescription drug plans and Gayla Ratzlaff with the Area Agency on Aging will be here at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 21, to assist with that process.
Be sure to make an appointment with the center by calling 620-983-2226.
Everyone is asked to bring their list of medications with them to the appointment.
Menus are available at 106 N. Walnut in Peabody.
The cost of meals is $3.15 for anyone 60 years or older. We also encourage those under 60 to attend with their cost at $5.
Hope to see you soon.
