Hope everyone had a nice Fourth, whatever you did. At least it was cooler, almost too cool.
There are some changes coming to the senior transportation system starting July 11. You will have to call dispatch in Omak to schedule a ride. We will not be doing that from the Senior Center any more. The number is 1-800-635-4391, and you are supposed to call quite a bit in advance. For more information, we have flyers at the center. Also, our long-time bus driver John Jumper is retiring on July 11. We will sure miss him, as I am sure all his riders will. He was part of our family at the center.
Grady Mathison is the senior of the month. Congrats, Grady, you get to be first in line for the month.
Next week I will tell you about our senior members’ barbecue on July 5.
The Thrift Store is open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m.–3:30 p.m., and Saturday during the Farmers Market.
The Senior Center is located next to the Methow Valley Community Center on Highway 20 in Twisp. Lunch is served at noon by the Okanogan County Transportation and Nutrition Program on Monday, Thursday and Friday. The suggested donation for lunch is $3.50 for seniors over age 60; the cost is $8 for those under 60. Annual membership dues are $1.25.
Transportation is available locally for the senior lunch program, and for monthly trips to Omak/Okanogan the second Tuesday of the month and to Wenatchee the third Tuesday of the month. Call the Senior Center at 997-7722 for additional details.
