I hope everyone had a great time visiting the Mower County Fair last week and eating all that great food and enjoying the entertainment. Did you buy chances on the beautiful quilt we had on display? If not, we are still selling chances at the center and will draw for it on Sept. 10, during our Senior Fest celebration.
Remember to join us at the center Wednesday for Marg Hallman's retirement party. Marg has worked in the craft room for more than 20 years and will be missed. The festivities will run from l p.m. to 3 p.m. in the main dining room. Coffee and bars will be served.
Many activities are going on at the center during the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, blood pressure is checked from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. Tai chi is available. A card game or two goes on every day at 12:30 p.m. and Monday and Tuesday evenings, too. The pool room buddies meet each day and the craft room is open to volunteers each day at 9 a.m. A writing class is held Tuesday mornings for those interested in documenting family history.
