We are half way through 2020 and what a half a year it has been. COVID-19 took over our whole World and there is so much uncertainty that we are all faced with. Every day we hear new guidelines of best practices on how to stay safe and be healthy. We all are wanting to go back to what we all knew. Many of us do not like change but sometimes change is good, it makes us stronger, we figure out ways to be better as people and as a community. It is all challenging and none of us know the correct answers. We all just try to do the best we can and be kind to other people’s feelings because we do not know what is happening in everyone’s lives.
White Rose Senior Center is continuing to offer Take Out Meals, Programming Virtually, Activities to Do at Home, Food Distributions, some Fundraising Activities and Treats! We try hard to give everyone some time when they come to get their lunches or food boxes. We are very aware that we all want to see and talk to someone so we don’t feel isolated. We are here for you! If you have some friends who are 60 or older, invite them to join the Center. Even though we look a lot different now, we would love to meet new members! Tell them to bring their ID and come to the front doors where we will sign them up and explain all of the fun things we have to offer! Check out the 2-Week Calendar (June 8th-19th) to see what is coming up!
