Summertime treat: Enjoy some ice cream Thursday evening at senior center

July 30, 2014 Byron Jordan, Senior Center Director No comments

There’s still time for everyone to plan their day around the nutrition site’s ice cream social, beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday evening, July 31, at the senior center. This is an important fundraiser for the site and all comers and donations are greatly appreciated.

Most folks may have already figured this out, but the nutrition site did have an ulterior motive when they put on the free lunch July 24 at Osage County Senior Center. They wanted to bring the lunch program and meals-on-wheels to the attention of local citizens, and hopefully boost incentive to partake in the daily lunch meals more often.
