A Message From the Senior Center
“March came in like a lion…..” Not this year! Let’s hope we get some rain, but in the meantime, enjoy our beautiful Sonoma County weather. If you haven’t checked out our field trip sign-ups at the Senior Center come by and see what we are offering. Our van can only accommodate nine passengers so hurry in for the trips you’re interested in. Did you know?????? 100% of the Senior Center budget comes from donations, membership dues, and fundraisers. Case Management and Transportation are stand-alone contracts from the County. We are the only Senior Center in the county that provides case management at the Senior Center. If you haven’t already renewed or joined OWLS please consider doing so. Thank you! Gratefully, Emily, Jeff, Vicki, John, Mark, Greg, Susan & Terri
March 2020
So many events coming up and so few prizes in our storeroom. If you have items at home that you would like to donate, please bring them in ASAP. Items that you thought someday you would re-gift, gently used items that you no longer need, or anything you think someone would be willing to buy raffle tickets for! Thank you!
