It’s beginning to look like the old days here. Now that we are open Monday-Thursday, 9 am 3 pm, more seniors are coming in to pay their dues, chat a while, use the computer, pick up new books or puzzles and just enjoy the fact that we are on our way to being fully open.
We have put some clipboards out at the desk for activity sign up. We have pretty much decided to have Corn Hole on Wednesday afternoons, 4 to 6pm. Cribbage needs a sign up to determine what day and time you would like to play. The Wednesday Bingo is still lacking two or three volunteers to call back numbers and tend to card sales. Call 543-3998 to help once a month. Anyone for Mexican Train, Chess? Let us know what you would like to see as an activity.
