RONAN — With all of this nice weather, are you getting the urge to do some yard work? Me neither. It won’t be long, though, before Groundhog’s Day and we will find out if we can count on an early spring.
Members of the Lake County senior centers and the Council on Aging will be out and about asking people to sign the petition to get their mil levy on the June ballot. Please sign the petition and then vote for the mil levy.
The Council on Aging offers several services, including homemaking, in-home respite care, senior commodities distrubution, transportation to medical appointments and shopping as well as providing information and other assistance. They also operate a bus to bring seniors (within the city limits) to functions at the center.
Each center offers a variety of programs and activities. Programs include low-cost, hot, nutritious meals and meals delivered to homebound people. They also provide foot clinics, AARP tax assistance, AARP safe driving classes, and social activities for seniors including pool, bingo, crafts/quilting, cards, movies, lending libraries and exercise. The most important feature of each center is the social interaction with other seniors that would not happen if the centers were not open. To find out what is available at your local center, just give them a call.
Menu for the rest of the month is:
• Wednesday, Jan. 22: polish sausage with sauerkraut
• Friday, Jan. 24: fish
• Monday, Jan. 27: tater tot casserole
• Wednesday, Jan. 29: potato bar
• Friday, Jan. 31: our wonderful roast beef birthday dinner
Have a great week. Remember, the good thing about being canned from every job you’ve had is that nobody can say that you’re a quitter.
