Hope everyone had a great weekend. We need the rain, but I enjoy the dryer, warmer tempera tures! It’s always warm and dry in here, so drop in and sit a spell. The Center wishes to thank Bill Yeo and David and Rosie McCoy for all their efforts in putting together the Senior float and the Senior auction, and all others who helped. You know who you are. It takes harmonious team work for your Senior Center to continue all our activities. Many thanks from the officers for everyone’s help. Some of you who live around Vernonia, were trying to hook up with trips with the Scappoose center. Keep in touch with us in here for up coming trips. Please call my office if you are interested in signing up for foot care in the latter part of September. Any donation to the center will be appreciated for that service! Tired? Need a break? Call me for information on respite care for caregivers here in Co lumbia County. “Respite" means taking care of you so you can continue to take care of them. A hearing aide professional is at the center every second Friday. Call or come in. Call me for any senior needs and concerns. Senior Advocate Karen Miller at 503-429-9112.
