Hello from the Osage County Senior Center and the Osage County Public Transportation. Where things are happening.
Changes for the senior Harvester boxes: We are going to continue to distribute the boxes, however there is a delivery change. We will not get the boxes until the third Friday, and they can be picked up on the fourth Monday. This is a permanent change going forward. The volunteers will be delivering on the fourth Monday. You do need to pick up your boxes within two weeks from the delivery date, as we do have others that are on our waiting list. If you do not pick up your box for two months you will be removed from the list, so as others that need the boxes can get them.
We are hosting a Quarter Bingo and soup supper at 6 p.m. Feb. 19; bingo at 6:30 to benefit the Osage County Sheriff support fund. Soup, desserts, drink, $5.
