Greetings from the Jones Township Senior Center

I would like to let everyone know about the activities we have been offering at the Senior Center.

We are now open from 9am until 3pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  We offer a “free” continental breakfast from 9am until 10:30am with coffee, tea, bagels, muffins, juice, and cereal.  We also have walking, coffee table chat and cards (Cinch and Michigan Rummy).

We are sponsoring the Angel Food Ministries.  Angel Food is available to everyone.  It is not based on income, so there are no limitations.  It is delivered one Saturday morning every month for your pickup at the Wilcox community building.  Order forms are available in Wilcox at the Senior Center, Municipal Authority and Township offices, Linda O’Rourke Beauty Shop and Valerie’s Beauty Shop; in Johnsonburg at the Senior Center, the Public Library, and the Johnsonburg Press Office.

Quilting is taking off at the Center.  The ladies completed a Then and Now quilt of Wilcox which was chanced off at the Wilcox Sesquicentennial Celebration.  Chelsea Murray was the lucky winner.  They are now working on their next quilt.  There are some people who have volunteered to teach “Tatting”, which is almost a lost art, and some of the members are interested in learning how to Macrame lawn furniture.

Wii Physical Therapy, for those of us who need to get moving and want to have fun doing it, is now available at the Center. 

We are looking for people who are interested in giving our pool table a workout and we have several members who are interested in learning the game of pool.

Watch the Jones Township website for more information on the upcoming programs and please make plans to come and join us!
