We would like to thank the Girl Scout Troop 5088 for providing a delicious and free taco dinner this past Wednesday at the Senior Center. The girls were working on a hospitality badge and served over 15 seniors a wonderful meal.
Don’t forget about the chair yoga sessions being offered every Monday starting at 4:00 pm on February 5th right at the Senior Center! Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that’s done while seated or using a chair for balance. All sessions will be drop-in, so you can miss a week if needed. Each session is $10 and you will pay the instructor directly. Please make sure to call us at 906-341-5923 to let us know you are interested in attending.
Our next Senior Movies & Popcorn event will be on Thursday, February 22nd starting at 1:00 pm. We will be screening the 2014 movie where “Maggie (Melissa McCarthy), a struggling single woman, moves to Brooklyn with her 12-year-old son, Oliver. Having to work very long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of Vincent (Bill Murray), a bawdy misanthrope next door.” Due to licensing rules, we are unable to advertise the title of the film, but you are more than welcome to give us a call to find out the title! During the movie we will be providing coffee, water, and popcorn free of charge to all attendees. We hope to have you join us on February 22nd!
We will be hosting a special seminar on February 15th, 2024 at 1:00 pm led by a staff member at the Alzheimer’s Association in Marquette. The title of the seminar is “Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia.” At the seminar you will be learning the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia, Alzheimer’s stages and risk factors, current research and available treatments, and ways the Alzheimer’s Association can help you and your family. Come and eat lunch at the Senior Center and stick around for this informative session. We will have special treats for those who stick around!
