July Senior Moments
By Kristen Bodmer
Summer has arrived we have lots of fun activities going on here at the Thurmont Senior Center. One of the finest sounds to hear is the sound of our seniors laughing and having a good time. There are smiles a plenty here at the center. We would love to have you come in and have some fun with us
June was a fun filled month. We celebrated together at our annual birthday party. Pam and her committee did a great job in providing fun games and a wonderful Strollin’ through the Decades themed party. Thank you to the Rocky Ridge Fire Company Auxiliary for a delicious meal. Two successful Bingos, many card and dice games played and lots of food shared.
We had a wonderful visit from some Catoctin High School students on the last day of school. They came to do service work for an hour but before we put them to work, they enjoyed doing Zumba with Kellie Bevard and her Zumba Gold class. It was a lot of fun. Thank you, Logan Abarca, Molly Bosko, Addy Bruchey, Darrin Frey, Eva Oleszczuk, Julie West and Advisor Rachel Misner. You were so much fun to work with. We hope to see you all again. You all are welcome to come back and volunteer anytime.
July is full of activities. Take the opportunity to take a look the calendar of events we have scheduled. You can find our calendar on the website https://thurmontseniorcenter.org/ on Facebook or come into the center and ask for one. Don’t forget we serve lunch every day at 12:00 and if you are not able to stay you can just pick up your lunch. We have quite a few people who pick up lunch from the center now. Just remember to call the day before or by 9:15 the morning of.
We would love for you to join us for a free balance and strength exercise session daily, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday beginning at 11:00-11:45. We play Pinochle on Tuesday at 1:00, We have Bunko on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 1:00 and Farkle on the 4th Thursday at 1:00. Thursday’s at 12:30 we play dominoes. We also play Bingo every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, if we have a 5th Wednesday, we have a Special Bingo. It is always a fun time full of laughter and special homemade treats for halftime. I can’t forget to mention coffee we are told it is the best, so come in and have a cup with us. Friday’s, we have Zumba we also offer Poker and 500. Just to let you know we have a whole corner dedicated to exercise. We have 2 treadmills, a stair climber and a recumbent bicycle for use during our hours 9-3 there is no charge to use this equipment
We really love having the community use the center. There are so many different possibilities to use the center. The price is very affordable. Call the Thurmont Senior Center to rent for different activities such as a baby shower, a birthday party or a bridal shower.
As always if you have questions don’t hesitate to call us at 301-271-7911.
Just a reminder some activities may have a minimal cost but to join the center is absolutely free.
