Hello from the Osage County Senior Center and Osage County Public Transportation – where things are happening!

We have started a Breakfast Club, and we are going to every restaurant in Osage County for breakfast. The Miracle Café, in Reading, had great food. Our next trip will be to Green Acres at 8:15 a.m. Sept. 8, 2023. Our casino trip is on the 22nd of August, and we leave at 9 a.m. The next Lunch Bunch will be to Lings Chinese Restaurant, in Topeka, on Aug. 25.

The ceramics class is up and going; it is $4 per class, most supplies are furnished. High Rollers is 2 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Home Town Health Care is here to call quarter bingo every Tuesday at 10 a.m.; come and enjoy. Thank you Robin with Angels HH for our sundae bar – it was refreshing.

Aug. 21 is National Senior Citizen Day, so stop in for some karaoke and snacks in the morning at 10, and Plinko, cornhole and cupcakes in the afternoon starting at 1. We are just going to have fun and enjoy the day.

Starting in September we are going to do shopping trips on the first and third Thursdays of the month, going to Topeka Walmart, Sam’s and Aldi’s. Riders need to call the transportation department to make reservations. This will take place of using the transportation department on a daily basis for shopping trips, and will allow us to better use the transportation for other trips and serve more clients. I am open to all suggestions for activities and or outings.

Don’t forget that we do rent out the senior center as a venue for any events that might need the larger accommodations.

Come and enjoy the fun and activities with us at the Osage County Senior Center!

Thanks!

Franny
Osage County Senior Center Director Franny Deters
