Well, folks, let’s hope there is an end in sight and
we can get back into the senior center soon! As
we continue to make decisions based on the
health and safety of our seniors, we are actively
working on programming for 2021. We’re just as
eager as all of you to have some in person
programming again! In the meantime, please
remember to call the office at 330�689�5100 if you
would like to continue to receive the newsletter in
the mail. If you have an email, let us know that too
and the newsletter will be automatically emailed to
you. �

I hope all of you enjoyed the Thanksgiving Feast.
It was nice to see so many smiling faces, even
through the masks. With the help of our sponsors,
we were able to provided a wonderful meal from
the Café in Stow for over 135 seniors! Our next
event will be the Chocolate Binge Drive Thru
event on February 12 in the City Hall Parking lot.
This is event is perfect for anyone with a sweet
tooth for chocolate! �

Our Zoom programs have become more popular
over the past few months, with our Crafting with
Kristin program, Bingo, Brain Games and Cooking
with Cindy programs. These programs are a great
way to “see” people in a safe way! Remember,
there is an instructional guide that can be mailed
to anyone who is interested in learning more
about Zoom. I hope you will join us on one of the
upcoming programs. �
�
As I write this, City Hall is closed to the public,
which means our lending shelf inside the building
has been temporarily put on hold. If you are
looking for a new puzzle or book, please call the
office and we can coordinate a pick up for you. �

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy New Year, �
