Senior Connections Offers Meals, Bingo and Art Classes
At Senior Connections, we foster a vibrant community for seniors aged 55 and up, offering a free membership that opens the door to a world of fun, friendship, and enriching activities. Doors open from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. on each program day, welcoming members to join us for nutritious home-cooked meals, engaging games, and stimulating conversations.
Join on Monday, May 11, in Schulenburg at Wolters Park. Kick the day off with a rowdy game with friends until 11:15 a.m. when we start the announcements, Pledge of Allegiance, Prayer Concerns, and the blessing. Beef tips and rice, prepared by Connie Koopmann, are on the menu, along with a house salad with seasonal fruit, and garlic bread guaranteed to fill the room with a mouth-watering scent. Members are encouraged to bring desserts; add your name to the sign-up sheet on a convenient day.
