We've Got The County Covered

Chinook Senior Center

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center

A HUGE Thank you to Amelia Funk for the lovely Valentine flower vases to keep our tables festive during our Valentine celebrations. This lady is a sweetheart, indeed.

I would like to take a moment to thank Makhayla Farmer who has designed a beautiful logo that is in our Senior Center news. She is very talented and it looks lovely.

Speaking of Valentines……we have had lots of fun, with games and a very special menu that was prepared on Feb. 14th. We had a very full house and we all enjoyed a wonderful meal that was prepared by our head cook, Howard Juneau and our wonderful volunteers, Marcia Mohar & Jennifer Wilderness.

We are truly fortunate to have so many fine people within our community that are willing to help out. Our delivery drivers have been traversing some difficult weather on occasion, and they too are a very special gift to our Center as well as our community. Please be certain to thank these men and women who take the time to bring you a wonderful, hot meal. Our delivery drivers encounter often times brutal weather conditions to make certain that you receive your meals in a timely manner. These people are not paid. We are a non-profit, so know that when you see them, it is out of the kindness of their hearts.

We, in partnership with the Milk River churches (Methodist, Lutheran & Presbyterian) had the honor of serving our local veterans who have FIRST SERVED US, by providing many things that the youth of today are not even aware of. These men and women went out into the armed forces to provide us with the many privileges that are taken for granted. We were very honored to be a part of this very important day and wish to do so in the future as well. We had a lovely turnout, despite the unpredictable weather.

Danny Mohar came on Saturday, to blow our sidewalks clear of the newly fallen snow. If you see this young man out and about, be certain to thank him for all that he does for our Center, as well.

We are richly blessed by many fine people who wish to help us in many endeavors. We have had people who have “gifted” dollars to provide things that we would not otherwise be able to enjoy. These community minded people are the very ones that have given throughout the years and continue to do so, because they know how integral this Center is to our community. Yes, we are blessed.

The Pinochle Marathon is still in full swing, despite the recent weather conditions and they are playing as often as possible to get their required number of games in before the end of April, which is right around the corner.

We have some new Diamond Dotz art coming in and are looking forward to adorning our Center with these new pieces, once completed by the talented people who enjoy this art.

We, because of the generosity of a couple of lovely ladies within our community who partnered with me to purchase our Copyright License, are showing a movie weekly. We have all enjoyed this time together.

Our next Foot Clinic will be held on Monday, March 3rd. Be sure to call us at 357-2648 to be scheduled.

We have Limber Up classes each Mon., & Wed., @ 10:00 a.m. We have Bingo each Thurs., @ 1:00. We have music each Friday from 10:00-12:00. We have Pinochle Parties every other Friday @ 2:00. We have Cornhole each Monday, and sometimes on other days, as well, depending on who all wishes to play. We have Cribbage players on Tuesdays. We are currently showing our movies on Tuesdays, due to the many Pinochle marathon players seemingly scheduling on Wednesdays.

SATURDAY, MARCH 1ST WILL BE A 90TH BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR AMY BELLE SMITH FROM 2:00-4:00 , RIGHT HERE AT OUR WONDERFUL CHINOOK SENIOR CENTER! STOP IN AND WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
