August Senior Moments
By Kristen Bodmer
Summer has definitely arrived, come in and beat the scorching heat. We have lots of fun activities going on here at the Thurmont Senior Center.
August 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.
If you are walking by the center on the ledge of the front of the building you will see a caterpillar of rocks. We would love for you to add to our rock caterpillar to see how much he can grow.
July was a fun filled month. We had three exciting bingo’s this month. We would love for you to join us for some fun and fellowship. 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. We also play Bingo every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, if we have a 5th Wednesday, we have an extra 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. Also, a reminder we have a whole corner dedicated to exercise. We have 2 treadmills, 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
