Senior Center hosting parking lot picnic

At 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, we will be having a picnic in the parking lot.

This will be our third one of the summer and we have had fun at all of them.

Picnics are a great stress buster that help reduce the stress and anxiety related to your daily activities. Being an adult isn’t always easy, and it’s great to be able to ease up on the responsibility from time to time. The Senior Center picnics provide you with such an opportunity, where you needn’t worry about making food or cleaning up after. We are serving up a hamburger or cheese burger, chips, beans, desert and a drink for only $5. If it rains we will move the party inside. Bring a friend, see you there.

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we are serving scalloped potato and ham hotdish for $2.
