The weather has been so delightful lately and we hope you all are doing well!
We have several activities planned for the remainder of June and beginning of July that we would like to make you aware of!
Of course we will continue to provide hot lunches out the door at the Center on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday plus 2 frozen meals on Wednesdays for Thursday and Friday. You need to pre-register to assure yourself meals. Just call us or tell us at the door. The times are 10:30-11:30.
We have a Red, White, and Blue Raffle Ticket Sale ($1.00/pair) going on June 22-24. The Facebook Live Red, White and Blue Raffle will be held on June 24th at 1:00.
We will celebrate June Birthdays with cupcakes and Birthday Trivia on June 23 and the Birthday Trivia Winner will be announced on Facebook on June 24th at 2:00. Don’t forget to turn that trivia in!
Fresh Express with Central Food Bank will be held on Thursday, June 25th at 11:00. We receive 75-85 boxes and they go quick! Make sure you bring a cart if you walk and come to the front doors. If you drive, pull to the side door closest to East Market Street. DO NOT come early if you are driving because cars block the road and make it very dangerous!!!
Friday, June 25th at 1:00 on Facebook Live, we hold “Fairy Friday” where we pull one Active member’s Name to deliver a special treat to!
On Monday, June 29th, Bruce has been providing a Bible Study packet each month for people to take home and we will be offering another R&K Sub & Sandwich Sale (orders and money taken). The subs and sandwiches will be delivered on Tuesday, July 14th (10:30-11:30).
And to welcome in July…we will be selling Patriotic Milkshakes for $2.00. Choose between Chocolate, Vanilla, or Strawberry! YUMMY!!!
Many of you have been picking up the application for the Farmers Market Nutrition Vouchers at the Center. You may return them to Lisa and she will scan and email them onto the York County Area Agency on Aging. A staff person there will validate the application and send you the $24 paper vouchers to be used at a variety of produce stands. There is not a paper that lists all of the sites accepting the vouchers but a web site will be enclosed with the vouchers. Do to COVID-19, not all of the produce stands got their location in. The web site is being updated all of the time. HOWEVER, right outside of our building on the first and third Thursday of each month, the Mobile Produce Market is available for anyone! The hours are 10:30-12:00 and Selah Phillips and Metta Barbor are wonderful to work with!

White Rose Senior Center would like to welcome the following NEW MEMBERS…Lydia Suarez, Ana Florenciani, and Miles Jackson! If you would like to join us and are 60 years or older, bring your ID and stop by so we could tell you how to join in the fun, even outside during COVID-19 times! We have some entertainment and more outdoor activities coming in the next two weeks!
As you know, White Rose Senior Center prides ourselves on being a resource for people throughout the community. We try our best to share information or find out answers that you may have concerning an issue. Well yesterday, Deborah Gogniat from Wellspan sent out an email that we think sounds like fun and wanted to share. It is a 12-week community challenge that begins June 15th (I know, one date late but you can still jump on board!) as part of Transforming Health’s “Here With You” campaign. This is a walking program to encourage participants to walk in honor of those on the frontline of the COVID-19 crisis: essential workers, healthcare staff, first responders and many others. It is a fun and effective way to increase your physical activity levels while at the same time show your support for amazing heroes on the frontline helping us stay safe! Here is the link for the “To the Moon and Back Walking Challenge”. You also can earn prizes!!!!
Stay safe and healthy friends!
