Marion senior center
We’ve had a big eventful week with the annual Senior Citizens of Marion County meeting here Oct. 20. We had music by the Marion High School singers, two guest speakers who played mandolin and accordion, the 15 honored instrumental musicians were presented and Sue Clough and Keith Allison performed “Manana.” It was amazing.
We welcomed the Aulne United Methodist Church birthday group. They were recognizing Verna Gervais, Linda Peterjohn, Joyce Olsen and Margaret Cook.
We also had door prizes. Connie Fisher picked numbers from the people signing in by a number. The prizes went to Sue Clough, Jeff Christensen, Evelyn Jewett, Leland Albrecht, Jerry Nelson, Eugene Just, Evelyn Obermeier, Rosalie Schmidtberger and Irmagene Goodman.
Shirley Bowers had “show and tell” that day and led the group in singing choruses. We welcomed Les Greenemeyer as a substitute Meals on Wheels driver, and the Harvest House group who were here on Oct. 14.
Think about bringing your group for lunch.
The suggested donation for age 60 and over is $3.50. For those 59 and under is $5.25 for a great hot meal, so come give us a try soon.
