March 22nd is the 50th anniversary of Senior Nutrition programs in West Virginia. To celebrate, both Mt. Top and Parsons Centers will be having a free lunch for everyone 50 years or older. Regularly the suggested donation for a senior meal (60 and over) is $3.00. Lunch at both centers is from 11:30 until 12:30.
The dates for the Lancaster trip are July 19th and 20th. The cost will be $320 per person based on double occupancy. We will collect $160 on April 14, 2022 and the other $160 on May 19, 2022.
We still have places for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The dates for this trip are September 30, 2022 to October 6, 2022. The total cost will be $2400 per person based on double occupancy. At this point if you have not made a payment, each will be $600 for March through June. These payments are due around the 15th of each month. We will be taking a bus to the airport so you don’t have to worry about that.
For the Tygart Lake cruise we decided to do this trip somewhere between July 25th and July 29th. We must take names now because there is a minimum of 30 people so we need to know if we have enough interest. At this point we only have 17 names on the list for this trip. PLEASE CALL US SOON IF YOU ARE INTERESTED SO WE CAN CONTINUE OR CANCEL THE PLANS. We will wait until March 31st and if we don’t get enough interest, we will cancel this and see if we can do something else.
We want to go to the Mountain Playhouse in August to see a comedy play titled “Popcorn Falls” but we are awaiting an exact date from the theater.
We will get a schedule of performances at the Gandy Dancer as soon as it is available. We will do that for a Christmas trip as well as try to do at least one of their regular shows probably in May and/or September.
If you have any questions about these trips, feel free to contact Linda Bonner at the Parsons Center at 304-478-2423. If you are interested in any of these trips, please call as soon as possible to get your name and phone number on the list so we know if enough people are interested.
We will begin having our Flanagan Hill Outposts on Wednesday, March 23rd at noon. Please bring you favorite covered dish and join us for our delicious meal
and great fellowship.
We are looking for some local people either in the Parsons area or from the mountain area that would be interested in providing entertainment for our monthly Outposts. Our Outposts are covered dish dinners beginning with some relevant readings then the entertainment for approximately 30 minutes before we do door prizes and have a delicious meal. If you sing, play an instrument, dance, or something else to entertain our seniors please call Linda Bonner, Activities director, at 304-478-2423. We would love to have you share your talent with us.
Also, if you would like to teach a class in knitting, crocheting, sewing, etc. we’d love to hear from you. We’ve had a request for someone to do a writing class for us.
Volunteering for a short time will help you and make our seniors happy. Please consider what you might do to help.
