Senior Center Activities
Senior Center Has New
Information Representative
Rosie McCoy consid-
ers herself a “hometown Ver-
nonia girl.” So, who better to
assist Vernonia senior citizens
with information and assis-
tance than one of our own?
Rosie McCoy was born in Ver-
nonia, moved away after she
married, and then moved back
around thirty years ago. She is
currently President of the Ver-
nonia Cares Food Bank Board,
and has just recently taken this
new position with the Vernonia
Senior Center.
McCoy says she will
be available at the Center on
Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, from 9:30 A.M. until
the end of lunch and can help seniors get information about legal services, hous-
ing, healthcare and prescription drugs. “There’s all kinds of help and free ser-
vices available for seniors,” says McCoy.
McCoy is also hoping to schedule some planned social activities like
game days or craft days, and also some special events.
5-Area Luncheon: March 29th at the
St. Helens Senior Center.
Connie’s Fabulous Breakfasts: Fabu-
lous breakfasts are available to the pub-
lic on Fridays for a cost of only $3.50.
The event happens at the Senior Center
(446 Bridge Street) from 7:00 to 9:00
AM each Friday. Meal price includes a
beverage, too. Enter through the side,
parking lot door. What a deal!
Week Day Lunches: The Vernonia Se-
nior Center offers nutritious and tasty
lunches each weekday for only $3.
These are available to the public, not
just Senior Citizens. (Mealtime is noon;
late arrivals may not be served.) You can
reserve your lunch by calling by 11:15
AM, or further in advance if possible, to
assist the cooks as they prepare the day’s
meals.
Maple Bars available locally! Connie
King, the cook at the Senior Center, is
making maple bars each day. The maple
bars are available to the public, too, and
only cost $1 each. Availability is sub-
ject to quantity on hand. You can assure
yourself of a good supply by pre-order-
ing them directly from Connie by call-
ing the Senior Center (503-429-3912)
any week day, from 7:00 AM-3:00 PM.
Please allow one day lead time for larger
orders. The Center’s front door opens at
9:00, but the side parking lot door opens
at 7:00. Ah, sweet treats!
Thrift Store: Bargain prices can be
found in Vernonia’s Senior Center in
their Thrift Store. The retail store is open
Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM
until 3:00 PM. The Thrift Store provides
funds for he Senior Center’s facility and
its many activities. Donations can also
be dropped off during those same hours,
and donated clothes need to be clean
and in good condition so they are “sales
ready”. Buy locally and support your lo-
cal Senior Center.
Drop-offs only during store
hours, please.
Membership Dues: Another way to
support Vernonia’s Senior Center is to
pay the $15 annual membership dues.
Checks may be mailed or dropped off at
the Senior Center. Anyone 50 and older
may join.
