SENIOR CENTER

The Christmas prime rib lunch on Dec. 22 was a huge success. The turnout was amazing even when the weather was quite questionable. Greta, Shelley and Rita did an amazing job, as always. As a reminder, Okanogan County Transportation provides a monthly trip to Omak and Wenatchee for medical appointments, shopping, lunch, etc. On the […]

It’s hard to believe the holidays are just around the corner. You can feel the warmth of the season when you enter the dining room at the Senior Center. The Christmas tree and decorative table displays are very nice. On Thursday (Dec. 22), we are serving prime rib for the senior Christmas lunch in the […]

Rosalie has decided to step down from writing the Senior News and I will be taking her place at this time. Thank you, Rosalie, for all the years of contributing to the Senior News. The second Christmas Sale on Dec. 3 was another success! The shoppers and our wonderful volunteers had so much fun. We […]

This will be my last Senior News column. I am turning it over to Colleen Ramiskey. There’s too much going on in my own life right now and I’m not spending much time at the center. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and well wishes to husband and me. He has a long healing process […]

Sorry I didn’t get any news in last week, but it’s been a hectic month for me and last week I was on the coast. Anyway, we had a great first Christmas Sale, with another one coming up on Dec. 3. Otherwise, the room is open on our regular days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Hope […]

It’s here, it’s time: Our Christmas sale starts Saturday (Nov. 19), the same day as the Christmas Bazaar at the community center. There is no end to what you can find — gifts, toys, trees and tree trimmings. The sale starts at 9 a.m. See you there. The weather has been playing havoc on our […]

Due to the snow storm, nutrition closed down the meals for the day, and because so many of our volunteers live a long way away, we closed the thrift store also. We all needed to dig out. We are having our Veterans Day lunch on Friday (Nov. 11). All veterans and a guest will get […]

I hate to be a complainer, but some people are using us for their personal garbage dump. Come on, we are old and overworked, and our garbage bill is outrageous. Please be kind to us. Also, cleaning up after our after-hours shoppers is a nasty job. Please don’t leave donations after we are closed. Don’t […]

There are a few Halloween costumes left — better hurry because they are going fast. We will be closed again on Wednesday to get the floors in the sorting room and rummage room cleaned and sealed. Sorry for the inconvenience. Friday is gift basket day. This month has gone so fast. Getting everything ready for […]

We had another big sidewalk sale last Saturday. We rolled out the racks of what was left of the winter wear and Halloween costumes, along with lots of other things. Also, there was a huge free pile. We want to thank Ron and Chuck for their help doing the tables and heavy work. They kinda […]
