Fall is here, leaves changing colors and crisp breezes blowing. We are looking forward to Colorfest, our Yard Sale & Thanksgiving. We would love for you to come join us as we get to spend time together laughing and playing games and sharing fellowship.
October 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. Just a quick reminder that because of Colorfest we will not be having the fundraiser and bake sale at Roy Rogers this month. Carol and Nancy will be busy with our annual yard sale that week. The yard sale will be Thursday Friday and Saturday. Hope to see you there. We are so proud to announce that Jody Eyler of Thurmont was inducted into the Maryland Senior Citizen Hall of Fame. We are so happy that she has been recognized for all she does for this community. Along with volunteering at the Grange, Thurmont Community Show, she is an outstanding volunteer here at the Thurmont Senior Center. She works in the kitchen, drives people to the store or appointments, really, she just steps in whenever she can. Jody we are so proud of you!
September was a fun filled month. We had two exciting bingos. We stretched and exercised, we played Farkle, Hand and Foot, Pinochle and Poker. We laughed and laughed. We also had coffee, tea and goodies galore. You just never know how much fun you can have. We would love for you to join us for some fun and fellowship. We have 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 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. Check out the YMCA’s Y on the Fly. They will be having some classes in the evenings at the center. We are very excited for this partnership.
Come out and have a delicious lunch with us. They are served every day at 12:00. The meals are $6.00 each. We would love to share a meal with you. Please call the day before to sign up for lunch. Menus are at the center and online on Facebook and our website thurmontseniorcenter.org
As you know we get our lunches from restaurants here in town. We do everything possible to keep our costs down and these restaurants continually work with us to make that happen. We have served so many lunches this past year and because of the partnership we were able to put $35,000.00 back into the restaurants. We love each restaurant, Bollinger’s, Fratellis, Mountain Gate, Rocky’s and Kountry Kitchen. Thank you for your continued support.
As a reminder with Covid, Flu and Cold season upon us, if you have symptoms or are not feeling well, please stay home. We have some covid tests at the center if you need one. We want to keep everyone as healthy as we can. We will have a Flu Clinic on Monday October 15th at 11:00-2:00
The Thurmont Senior Center is available to rent for different activities as well. Like perhaps a baby shower, a birthday party or a bridal shower.
Don’t forget to call the center or check online to get an updated calendar for our lunches and activities for the next month. We always have fun things planned and would love to have you come out.
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.
