Senior news, Aug. 5

Ronan senior news

Now that we are over Pioneer Days, it’s time to enjoy the Lake County Fair. Take a little time to see what the kids, and some of our seniors,  have been working on all year. Don’t forget to take in the quilt show at the school gym. They always have a lot of beautiful quilts for you to look at.

We had thought that the foot clinic would be held on Aug. 18, but have learned that it will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 25 instead and is on a first come basis.              

The print out menus have had a few mix-ups on it, so if you are as confused as I am, give us a call (676-2371) to see what we are serving.

We had 79 people at the center to honor Lorna Tougas as our Senior of the Year, and for our birthday dinner, we had 68 people join us.

Our monthly evening meal will be at 5 p.m. on Aug. 12 and we will be serving roast pork. The Veterans Rep will be here that same day from 1 until 3 p.m.

The Ronan Center will be hosting the card party at 7 p.m. on Aug. 16. Come on in and join them, there is always room for more.

Menu: Friday, Aug. 6, sandwiches and soup; Monday, Aug. 9, meatloaf; Wednesday, Aug. 11, pizza; Thursday, Aug. 12, pork roast at 5 p.m.; Friday, Aug. 13, stew.

The Council on Aging is still in need of drivers to take people to various appointments. Give them a call at 676-2368 if you can help, or if you are in need of a ride.

We are still collecting aluminum cans and appreciate any that are given to us.

Have a good week, and come in and join us.
