Our usual Senior Center
correspondent is enjoying family time
east of the mountains so we’ll skip
the usual cheery anecdote and go
straight to the news.
FOOT CARE CLIENTS, PLEASE NOTE:
For the next few months, please
make your FOOT CARE appointments
directly with our provider, Joyce
Jossi, RN. Her telephone number
is (503) 753-7745. Please leave a
detailed message as she is often
with other clients and unable to
answer immediately. The next
foot care dates continue on the last
Wednesdays of the month, June 28,
July 26 and August 30. Once the
transition of medical providers at the
Vernonia Health Center is complete,
we will let you know of any changes.
We are grateful to the Vernonia
Health Center Board for helping
continue this program by opening the
building for Joyce’s services during its
temporary closure.
SENIOR MEAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
CONTINUES. In cooperation with
three Vernonia restaurants - Black Iron
Grill, Mariolino’s and Vernonia Subway

BARGAINS ON BRIDGE STREET at 939
Bridge accepts donations during its
regular business hours: Monday –
Friday 9-3 and Saturday 10-3. Please

support senior services in Vernonia.
Watch for special SALE signs in front
of the store. VOLUNTEERS are always
needed to keep this vital program
going; please let Pam, Thrift Store
Manager, know if you are willing to
help out occasionally – or regularly!
THE VERNONIA SENIOR CENTER
OPERATES IN TWO LOCATIONS. The
Senior Center Office and the Thrift
Store, “Bargains on Bridge Street,”
reside in the former VCLC building at
939 Bridge Street. Board meetings
and social activities such as the Friday
afternoon card games are held in the
American Legion Hall at 627 Adams.
NEXT SENIOR CENTER BOARD
MEETING is Friday, July 14, 10 am at
the American Legion Hall/Cares. All
members are invited to attend.
SENIOR CENTER ANNUAL PICNIC will
be Friday, August 18, at the picnic
shed in Anderson Park. Lunch will be
served at noon with hamburgers and
hot dogs provided. Please bring a
side dish to share. Watch this column
for more details as we get closer to
picnic time, but mark your calendars
now for this fun event.
ROSE AVENUE CENTER: City
Administrator Josette Mitchell met
with the Senior Board at its June
9 meeting to update us on the
new Senior Center and Vernonia
Cares Food Bank building on the
Vernonia Health Center block. The
plan continues to be on schedule.
The final architectural drawings
are complete and the permit sets
have been sent to Vernonia’s City
Planner and the CDBG overseer.
Once approved by these two entities,
the fully detailed requirements for
potential contractors will be ready
to go out as bid sets. Both the Cares
and Senior boards met in May to
select the interior finishes and colors.
The building itself will complement
the architecture of the Health Center.
Groundbreaking is dependent on the
winning contractor’s availability, but
we are ever hopeful for a late summer
start.
