SPOTLIGHTING SENIORS
By Janet James
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish you a prosperous New Year. Let’s make 2016 the best year for the Senior Citizens Center.
We still have snow and cold temperatures! Hopefully things will get back to normal this week. Please be careful as you drive around town.
We are sadden by the loss of one of our friends and board member Rudy Dominguez. Our prayers our extended to his family.
On Monday Dec. 21 we had a very special Bingo. Sandy Goodner went around to various business owners and ask them to donate items for Bingo prizes. Sandy wrapped the prizes in beautiful Christmas paper. The secret prize was won by Diane Walker. The blackout amount of $49.85 was won by Janis King. Thank you Sandy for making this such a special Bingo.
Bingo on Jan. 4 had 22 players. The secret prize was won by Jesse Velasquez. The blackout amount of $37.30 was won by Nell Cole. Come join us for lunch on Monday Jan. 11 and then stay to play Bingo from 1-2.
Upcoming events – Mark your calendar: Mon. (Jan. 11) Bingo from 1-2. Tues. (Jan. 12) Calvert from 11-12.
FYI. This is the last article I will be writing for the senior citizens. I feel it is time to do something different for this article. My suggestion is to have the members of our senior citizens center write their thoughts and information down and then give it to Charlotte so she can put it in the article. Maybe we could call it “Comments by our seniors.” Thank you for your support during the years I wrote this article!
