Coffee is on
We’d like to remind you that the Senior Center is now serving breakfast on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:30-9:30 a.m. Stop in on your way to work or school, or come in early and spend the day with us. The prices are low, the food is fresh and hot and carryout is available. Call 393-4745 for carryout orders.
Membership drive
Though our membership year now is on a calendar year, it’s not to early to “Be-New or Re-New.” Beat the rush and sign up now and you’ll get an extra three months for your yearly $20 dues.
Membership at the Highland County Senior Center entitles you to participate in all the activities, go on exciting trips, take advantage of a broad range of service and purchase a delicious lunch for only $3. Already a member? Bring a friend when you come in to renew your membership, show them around and invite them to join. Also, we’d like to remind you that membership makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday or anniversary.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop in and renew or join the center today.
