Ronan senior news
Well, here we are, already to the middle of April. Last Thursday, we had all sorts of weather, from warm and sunny to a mini blizzard, and I hope that today's forecast is better. Last Thursday was also our evening meal for the month, and we had 62 people come and enjoy it.
We will be having another Defensive Driving Course (55 Alive) on June 2nd. Give us a call (676-2371) if you would like to sign up for it.
If you need a ride for an appointment, give the COA a call at 676-2368 and they can get you all set up to go. They have vans and volunteer drivers available for these trips. The COA is also looking for people who qualify to receive the senior commodities. Give them a call at 676-2367 to see if you can receive them.
On Friday, April 16, there is going to be a party for Claudia Marshall's 90th birthday at the Leon Clubhouse. The party starts at 2 p.m. and is a pot luck. No gifts, please.
The next card party will be here at the Ronan center at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 19.
The date of the Ronan foot clinic has been changed to 10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 21. No appointment is necessary, and it is on a "first come" basis. I have noticed that no one minds waiting, as there are always plenty of people to visit with.
We have BINGO after lunch on Mondays and Fridays, and the pool table is usually being put to good use. The people who participate in these two functions seem to be having a lot of fun, and maybe you should come in and join them.
Our menu for the following week is: Friday, April 16 is hamburger patties
Monday April 19 is spaghetti
Wednesday, April 21, is chicken and dressing casserole
Friday, April 23 is goulash.
Come in and join us.
And now, some words of inspiration from a 65-year-old: "I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, your church, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you."
