We would like to thank all who supported the Quilt Auction and the Silent Auction fundraisers last month. The winner of the quilt is Kathee Dunham, of Arlee.
The Annual Meeting of the Arlee Senior Citizens Center will be held Jan. 25, following dinner. All are invited to attend for the annual report by the Board of Directors to the membership.
The Center is much in need of additional and new members of the board. Our by-laws provide for a 9-member board. We have only six members on the board at present. Please consider volunteering some time to help with the activities involved in the functioning and management of the Senior Center.
We would like to have bingo games following one or both of the Saturday evening meals. We need, however, someone with a strong voice to volunteer to do the calling, and for all you bingo lovers out there to join us for dinner on those evenings.
Following are menus for upcoming meals to be served. Meals are provided each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12 noon, and on the second and fourth Saturday evenings of the month at 6:00 p.m.

Our condolences to Larry R. Miller’s family. Larry passed away in December, and we will miss him here at the Center.
Our yearly membership dues are $10.00 per person, and now due.
The Senior Citizen Centers of Lake County and The Lake County Agency On Aging are preparing a petition for a mill-levy to raise money for the Centers and the LCOAA. Please sign this petition for us, as this will help to keep the Centers and LCCOA up and running. Some of the Centers in Lake County are on very low budgets, and the money is greatly needed. Along with other services, the LCCOA provides transportation and housekeeping for seniors in Lake County, and the Centers offer social activities and low cost nutritious meals to people in the community.
Jan. 9 is our chicken dinner at 5 p.m.
The Foot Clinic will be here on Wednesday, the 20th. Jane will be here from 10 am until noon. Call us at 676-2371 and we will get you on the list.
Cards will be played here on Wednesday, the 20th. They are on their winter schedule, and will start playing at 1 p.m.
We are going to get our activities going again here at the Center. On Mondays, we will be showing movies, on Wednesdays we will be having crafts and on Fridays, we will be having Bing-O. These activities will all be at 1 p.m, following our meals. We also have the pool table ready to use and there is usually a puzzle to be worked on. We also have a great library with books to trade or borrow. And, don’t forget about all the great people who come in and are wonderful to visit with.
