This month, as the community reflects on gratitude, the center takes a moment to highlight the invaluable contributions of its volunteers.
These outstanding individuals bring a warmth and grace that make our center a welcoming place for all. You can see their passion for service in the genuine smiles and kindness they share with everyone. We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for our amazing volunteers for their time and dedication, including Linda Heller, Janiece Collins, Cynthia Trojacek, Darlene Williams, in Weimar, Sharon Rodriguez, Kathy Carpenter, Pam Janda, Judy Haggeman, Judy Jasek, Lupe Rodriguez, Britney Wagner, and Brenda Ray in Schulenburg, as well as Kitty Wilbanks in Flatonia. Many volunteers generously support multiple locations, displaying their dedication to the community.
Looking ahead, the schedule for the week of Nov. 3 promises a delightful mix of food and fun.
Members in Schulenburg will enjoy a meal on Monday, Nov. 3 catered by Koopmann Catering, featuring chicken spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread. After lunch, member Harlan Kubo will share his life story centered around music, followed by Bingo with Elizabeth Fox from Freyburg Dance Hall.
The menu on Tuesday, Nov. 4 in Weimar will feature a hearty pot of chili accompanied by cornbread and a refreshing salad. Today we will enjoy coke floats for dessert.
