Hillsboro Senior Center
Everyone at the Hillsboro Senior Center misses Ruby Hefley very much. We would also like to thank Ruby and her family for designating the center for memorial donations.
We are blessed for the donations and for those who contributed to the memorial.
This month?s birthday dinner is scheduled Monday, Oct. 28.
Other popular activities this week include Bingo Wednesday, Oct. 30, and a Halloween party Thursday, Oct. 31.
Anyone planning to attend the Halloween party is encouraged to come dressed up because someone will win a prize.
November menus will be out soon and we hope others can join us for lunch.
Belinda Skiles of Marion will provide a program Nov. 6 about her horse figures. We also will have chair massages beginning at 10 a.m. Nov. 6.
Appointments can be made for footcare Nov. 13, and those interested might want to make a note that no footcare will be available in December.
Remember anyone any age can join us for a meal.
The suggested price for meals is $3.15 for those age 60 and older and $5 for those under 60. It is a great price for a great meal and there?s always wonderful fellowship.
Those who are planning to eat lunch, please call the day before for a meal. If we are not here, we have an answering machine for messages.
