Wayne Township Senior Center

                                         October and November 2021
Hello Members!
The holidays are quickly approaching and it is our time to give back to the community! We have several new volunteer
opportunities available including making ornaments for soldiers, making no-sew fleece blankets for our general
assistance seniors, participating in the Holiday Assistance Program through general assistance and finally our food drive
collection for soldiers. These activities are in addition to our regularly scheduled shredding of newspapers, cards for
soldiers and fleece projects for the homeless. There is no better time than the holidays to show our support to our
community by giving our time volunteering for those who need it most.
I’m happy to announce that our Senior Center is back to its lively self with activities, trips, exercise, cards, bimonthly
meetings, bingo, etc. We appreciate everyone following the new state guidelines of wearing a mask indoors and are
thankful to not have to ask members to oblige… everyone is doing their part. I am even happier to announce that we
WILL be having our Annual Senior Center Christmas Party (details in newsletter) along with our raffle basket and 50/50
fundraisers.
Stay healthy, be happy, show kindness and most importantly love one another! Erin
