Chinook Senior Center

What a week! Even though we had no power and all that snow, the Senior Center was able to get meals out to the shut-ins and check on everyone we needed to. Art Kleinjan and our cooks did a wonderful job seeing our seniors had a hot meal and were safe. Thank you, we appreciate you all so much!

There are many upcoming events this week that I need to share with you.

Starting on Wednesday, we will be enjoying the movie, “Hidden Figures” in the library meeting room at 1 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. The movie scheduled for Oct. 18 is “Smitty.”

Whist will be played Wednesday afternoon starting at 1 p.m. Come join in. Last time, our winners were Ruth Brown and Rochelle Wohlschlager.

Bingo is played every Thursday at 1 p.m. with our caller Ray Reid. We had 10 people play last week and the Blackout winner was Marilyn Williamson. This group really seems to have a fun time!

This Friday, the Kitchen Band will be playing and there will be Pinochle after lunch. Our Pinochle winners last week were Mary Novak and Marilyn Williamson.

On Monday, Oct. 16, Pool and cribbage were played. We need more people for this activity. It starts at 1 p.m. All you have to do is show up!
