Busy Week Coming Up For Senior Connections
-
Stephanie Shroyer, Program Director with Senior Connections, is pictured here presenting Rita Hays with cookies from the cookie roundup for her bravery for sharing her story for Senior Spotlight in Weimar. Her story was very compelling about how painting and her love of horses brought her through some very difficult times. -
Anne Frye with First Texas Home Health holds a jar of cookies in thanks for calling our bingo game in Weimar. In the center is Janice Collins, a valued volunteer, holding her prize from the blackout game. Donna King made the crocheted blanket on the right. -
Haylee with Crown Hospice was our bingo caller in Flatonia, and she is pictured here with Mary Kalinec with her blackout prize. Mary also brought desserts for the day and baked cookies for us to share with our speakers and bingo callers. -

Senior Connections, a vibrant gathering place for active seniors in Schulenburg, Weimar, and Flatonia, invites all individuals aged 55 and up to join our free organization at any of our welcoming locations. This week, they are having a variety of engaging activities, delicious meals, and important community updates.
