Senior News - March 6
Ronan
We had 43 hearty seniors join us for our birthday dinner last Friday. Which just proves that when the going gets tough, the tough go the Senior Citizens for lunch. That is just one of the many reasons that we need to keep the Lake County senior centers open. We have gathered enough signatures to get the mill levy on the ballot in the June election, and we are asking that you vote for it. There are six Senior Citizens in Lake County, and the money that this is very important to keeping the Centers open and functioning. The money will also help the Council on Aging provide their many services to the county’s senior citizens.
Cards will be played here at 1 pm, on Monday the 17th, and the foot clinic will be here from 10 until noon on Wednesday, the 19th.
We will be serving corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s day. Our birthday dinner for March will be Friday, the 28th. Lent starts this month, and we have had several request to serve non-meat meals, and have made some additions to our regular meals in order to do so. Our meals are served at noon.
Our menu for the next two weeks: Wed. (5th) is potato bar, Fri. (7th) is Sloppy Joes and tuna/egg salad sandwiches, Mon. (10th) is hot roast beef sandwiches, Wed. (12th) is enchiladas, Thurs. (13th) is pork roast (5 pm) and Fri. is fish.
