Seniors take occasional trips to places such as Coulee Dam to see the laser light show and to Liberty Orchards' Aplets and Cotlets factory and museum in Cashmere, she said. Members can ride the senior bus to and from the center four days a week, and on Friday the driver will chauffeur seniors around town, Turner said. The center serves meals at noon Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Seniors who do not mind frozen meals can get them every day. The center also offers dances twice a month.
Music is provided by a band or piano player, and snacks are served.
A session includes nail trimming and blood pressure tests, she said. At the meetings, they send cards to anyone who is ill in the community and in the afternoon they play penny bingo. The center is a gathering place for seniors where they can organize any number of activities, she said. People should join because of the sociability and because it's something to take up time easily. How to get your copy of The Omak-Okanogan County Chronicle.
