Special to the Bulverde News Drivers who deliver Meals on Wheels in our area are such willing and dependable volunteers and on Monday we honored these great volunteers with lunch and a small token of appreciation. They are such an important part of the Meals on Wheels program. Tai Chi classes are every Wednesday at 8 a.m. and open for any adult in the community. The drop-in rate is $5 per class, or $20 for the month. We hope to increase participation to keep this valuable classes continuing. There is now a sign-up sheet to express interest in an old-time gospel singing group which will be added to the senior center’s events if there’s enough interest. Nutrition and diabetes classes will begin on Tuesday and are open to anyone in the community with an interest in good nutrition, or has diabetes. Unless there is more interest gathering for crafts, the center’s last organized project will be to make Christmas cards. Come by Nov. 18 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Bring old Christmas cards and decorations, along with pot luck finger foods. Join the project with Gail Hortick and get into the Christmas spirit! Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union will be here on Wednesday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. to give a presentation and sign up new members. United Way has been very supportive of the Bulverde Senior Center in the past so please give any donation to Glenna by Nov. 24. Glenna will present the center’s donations to the United Way representatives on that same day. The donation may be used by United Way for the senior center by specifying that choice on the envelope. Donation cards and envelopes are available at the center. Retired seniors who miss the workplace can get job training and return to work for at least 20 hours a week through a new program in Comal County. Jobs available will pay minimum wage. Contact Kim Dean, coordinator for our Senior Outreach Program, for more information. Also contact Kim regarding a Medic Alert System. The center’s Senior Outreach Program has partnered with GVTC to make this available. Don’t forget that flu shots will be available at the Comal County Health Department on Cougar Bend tomorrow between 8:30 and 11 a.m. |
