October was another fun filled month. Two successful Bingo’s. We had many card and dice games played and lots of food shared. We enjoyed our monthly birthday party. In the morning before the party Marie Free comes in to give seated massages for only $1.00 a minute for our seniors. We didn’t have our monthly fundraiser at Roy Roger’s Sorry for disappointing anyone. We had a raffle for a Schwinn Trailway Bicycle that was donated to the Center. The winner was Sherry Dixon. She won a very nice bike with a helmet. We had to cancel our yard sale for this year but we will reschedule. Our winners of the Colorfest raffle were: John Dowling winner of the Quilt and other goodies. 2nd prize winner of $50.00 was Cindy Harris and our 3rd prize winner of $25.00 was Lorraine Hoffman. Thank you to all who participated. These raffles help offset costs of all that we do for the seniors.
