This is a subtitle for your new post
Hello, from all of us at the Licking Senior Center. I trust everyone had a great week.
What a great article in the last weeks newspaper. Blessed with volunteers, was the headline in the newspaper last week. And yes, we ARE truly blessed. But It looks like a lot of volunteers, although it takes many hands to keep things going on.
Volunteers are the biggest part of this organization. The board members are all volunteers, the kitchen help is mainly volunteers, the phone and desk folks are volunteers, cleaning restrooms and dining room is all done by volunteers. We can’t do it without YOU.
Even though volunteer appreciation month has gone by, our appreciation for our volunteers still continue. I would like to recognize a couple of volunteers this week. Richard Hofstetter is a Board Member and a true volunteer. Anytime he is asked to do something, he pitches right in. Usually without confrontation, thank you Richard for being a dedicated volunteer. The next volunteer is Ken Hollenbeck. Ken is a former board member. And he drives on Thursday’s to deliver meals. He is also the one that’s makes the delicious spaghetti, usually once a month. Ken has been a very faithful volunteer for about 6 years. Thank you Ken for volunteering at the senior center.
If you would like to volunteer at the senior center, please call Cindy at 573-674-3558.
Lunch is served from 11:00 am until 12:30 pm Monday through Friday. Dining room is open, although we still offer carry outs and delivery. If you would like to order a lunch please call 573-674-3558 and talk to a friendly volunteer.
The Teacher had asked the class to write an essay about an unusual event that happened during the past week.
Little Johnny got up to read his. It began, "My daddy fell in well last week."
"Good Lord!" the teacher exclaimed. "Is he OK?"
"He must be," said Little Johnny. "He stopped calling for help yesterday."
Don’t forget that Sunday May 9th is Mother’s Day. Honor your mother.
Isaiah 66:13 - As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
