Golden Oldies

All last week was Nutrition Week a the Gurdon Senior Adult Center. It featured Dr. Barbara Holt.

Bingo was scheduled to be played on Monday, April 6, and poem and chair aerobics on Tuesday, March 7. Each Wednesday of this month, weather permitting, the center will meet at 9 a.m. to work. Friday, April 10, there will be a trip to the Twin Rivers Festival at Arkadelphia.

Sharon Priest, Secretary of State, will be speaking at the center on April 14. April 17 there will be a balloon launching at 11 a.m. The eternally young prom will be at 7 p.m. on that day. Admission is $5. The public is invited to enjoy this event with us. It has been quite some time since we enjoyed our high school prom, but we are still young at heart. There will be refreshments and entertainment. All proceeds will go to this center for the meals for seniors program. The Gurdon Adult Center (operated by the Central Arkansas Development Council) provides hot and nutritious lunches for 35 homes in the Gurdon area. The seniors receiving these lunches are homebound and often unable to prepare meals for themselves or their spouses. Winnie Clark will give us music the first part of the evening and Elizabeth Shepherd of Henderson will bring out the music lover in all of us with her golden voice. We encourage you to bring your whole family to the non-formal prom for the good, joyous and eternally young, fun will enjoy.

More events are planned for the rest of the month of April. The Center is a United Way Agency.
