May Senior Moments
By Kristen Bodmer
Spring has sprung and all of the April showers certainly brought the May flowers. I hope you all are taking the time to enjoy the beautiful weather and beautiful scenery we have around us. We would love for you to stop into the Thurmont Senior Center for a visit just to see what we have going on.
Did you know that we have provided 4,269 meals with 1,578 of those being delivered this fiscal year July 2023- March 2024. We are excited about the number of meals that we have been serving at our center and delivering. Did you know that we offer free delivery within 6 miles of the center. You can also pick up a lunch if you are not able to eat here with us. We really are blessed to have the fantastic restaurants in Thurmont providing our meals. We have a really have a fun sharing meals together. If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, we could always use delivery people or someone to drive seniors to the center or appointments. Please feel free to reach out to see where you can help. We love our volunteers.
May 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. We will happily get you one.
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 had two different rentals last month. There was a baby shower and a 2-year-olds birthday that were celebrated here. Each person said how much they enjoyed the facility. 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.
