May the “Luck of the Irish” be with you this week!

We are so excited to have Steve Edwards come talk to us on Wednesday, March 14 about the Mt. Rushmore and Black Hills trip he is hosting. It will start at 11:30 a.m., so make sure you get here early to get a seat.

Center activities this week include the movie “My Side of the Mountain” being shown on Wednesday, March 14 at 1 p.m. in the library meeting room. Popcorn and a drink are provided.

We will be having a special guest speaker on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. about the LIEAP Program.

On Thursday afternoon, Bingo is played at 1 p.m. Last week’s Blackout winner was Virginia Olson.

On Friday, for St. Patrick’s Day, we will be celebrating with Irish Stew. Be sure to wear green! The Kitchen Band will also be playing. We usually have a couple of tables of Pinochle going every Friday afternoon and always welcome more. Last week’s winner was Lois Butcher with high score and Myrla McCoy with low score. Marilyn Williamson had two Pinochles out of four hands.

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 Friday, (St. Patrick’s Day) at the 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.
