Hillsboro Seniors
We encourage everyone to come and enjoy a cup of coffee at the Hillsboro senior center starting at 8 a.m.
Programs for this week include Dan Kinning, Hillsboro chief of police, Wednesday, Oct. 9, talking about senior safety.
The community breakfast is from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12. We will be serving waffles, Hillsboro sausage, coffee, juice and milk for $6.
In addition, the center will have a program by Leroy Peterson on becoming friends.
Flu shots will be given starting at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 22.
We need volunteers to help at the center and anyone who helps will get their meal free that day.
If interested, call for more information.
We also want to thank everyone for supporting our center.
Remember anyone at any age can join us for a meal. Reservations can be made by calling by 9 a.m. the day of the meal or the day before. We have an answering machine for those who want to leave a message.
We also encourage anyone to invite a neighbor or friend for lunch. We can give up to four meals a month free to those who want to try our meals.
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.

Due to conflicts of dates, we have some activity changes from what was originally printed on the menu earlier in the month.
Just watch the Scribbles and I will remind everyone of upcoming events.
Columbus Day is Monday, Oct. 14, but we will be open for business. Our monthly board meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. and everyone is invited to attend. This is where you learn what is going on at the Senior Center and also have the opportunity to make suggestions of what activities you would like to see incorporated. Our lunch will be served at the regular time that day.
Bingo has been changed to Tuesday, Oct. 15, after lunch. Everyone is encouraged to bring a Halloween treat to put in the prize basket.
The monthly ?Dinner with the Doctor? is Wednesday, Oct. 16, and will feature Randolph Whitely.
Whitely talks with us each month regarding medical issues and conditions.
He has a topic, and afterward, we are able to ask questions. He also asks us for input into future topics.
Anyone who has something they would like to discuss is encouraged to make suggestions.
The Marion County annual meeting is Thursday, Oct. 17, at the Marion Senior Center.
They will be honoring Marion County artists this year, and one of the honorees is Beverly Dillon.

Some commodities are still left from the distribution at the center. For those with a need and who qualify, come by.
It?s time for renewal of our prescription drug insurances, and Gayla Ratzlaff, Marion County Department on Aging coordinator, will be available Oct. 21 in Peabody to assist with this.
Ratzlaff said she plans to be at the center in the morning. Call for an appointment at 620-983-2226. Anyone interested is asked to bring a list of their current prescriptions with you.
Meals are served each week day at 11:45 a.m. by reservation. The suggested cost is $3.15 for seniors 60 and above, and $5 for those under 60.
We are needing to replenish our volunteer list again, and if you are available for a few hours on a weekday morning once a week or occasionally, we would love to have you.
