Chinook Senior Center

What a busy week we have planned for you! Be sure to mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 14 at 11:30 a.m. We have special guest Steve Edwards coming to talk about the Mt. Rushmore and Black Hills Trip he is hosting for seniors across the Hi-Line.

The movie “The Monuments Men” will be shown Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the library meeting room. Popcorn will be provided.

We will be playing Bingo on Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. Last week’s Blackout winner was Virginia Olson.

Friday, we will listen to the Kitchen Band starting at 11 a.m. Pinochle is played after lunch. Last week, Mike Randall and Don Durocher beat everyone. Mike Randall had 800 Kings. Nobody has hardly ever seen that before.

The Public Card Party will be Sunday, March 11. Everyone is invited.

Our Strong People exercise class with Lauren LaMonica is scheduled for Monday at 10:30 a.m. This is a free class for seniors.

There will be a board meeting at 1 p.m. on Monday, March 12.

Shanghai Rummy is played every Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. Last week’s winner was Virginia Olsen.

This is the last week of the raffle for the beautiful “Double Wedding Ring” quilt donated by the late Norma Wisch. It is on display here at the center. Tickets are 6 for $5 or $1 each. The drawing will be on St. Patrick’s Day at lunch. You can get tickets from me or Rochelle. The senior center is facing cutbacks so please support this fundraiser. All proceeds will go towards our Meals on Wheels program.

AARP is offering a Driver’s Safety Class on Wednesday, March 21. You will need to come down to the center to sign up for this.

Stop by and see us at the center… the coffee is always on.
