The month of February certainly flew by! February was busy and filled with fun at the Senior Center. A good-sized group enjoyed the Valentine’s Day party, playing Musical Hearts, (similar to Musical Chairs, you just don’t have to get up), followed by Valentine Bingo!
In mid February, seniors enjoyed a trip to Cascade Lodge for a delicious lunch in a warm, wonderful atmosphere.
