Caregiver group meeting at new time
Published 1:39 pm Saturday, February 15, 2014
At 10: 30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Senior Center will be hosting their Caregiver Support group.
This is a change from its originally scheduled date this month and is for February only.
All caregivers are welcome and our meetings are informal. We provide information on a topic of interest and time is given for open discussion. It is a time for caregivers to share with one another and discuss the challenges and triumphs that they face.
If you need respite care or have any questions, please call Marianne in the Advocacy office at 507-433-3462 or Nancy at 507-433-8376.
Join us Friday for a fun watercolor painting class. The class is week two for the sampler series. Each class is $20 per person. Participants will complete the class with a painting.
Our teacher is Deb Rentfrow, a watercolor artist who has taught classes in watercolor technique since 2008.
She has won several awards for her paintings and enjoys watching students get her “wow” experience that is so special with watercolor painting.
Supplies (paints. brushes, mixing pans, pencils) will be provided. Please bring a mixing bowl or small bucket for water, an old towel, a roll of paper towels, a glue stick and a pair of scissors. To sign up for this fun class stop by or call the Senior Center front desk at 507-433-2370 ext. 0.
Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we will be having scalloped potatoes and ham in the coffee shop starting at 11:30 for $2.
You are always welcome at the center.
