Senior lunches are greatly enjoyed at the Birch Grove Community Center. Barb Merritt is the “most excellent” senior lunch chef.
I am the new Birch Grove Foundation executive director, Caroline Wood. I have been attending Senior Connect West luncheons since my arrival. Barb Merritt’s cooking is top notch and the senior community is thriving!
We have some exciting new programs to launch in September. In the meantime, in the West End: Senior Fitness on demand is Zumba Gold on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and Senior Lunch is Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. A suggested donation of $5 is appreciated.
We would like to appeal to volunteers to join us at Birch Grove Community Center. We are expanding our hours of operation and need community support for West End (W.E.) Pizzas, W.E. Movies, W.E. Yoga, and more!
Our library could use a great organizer or you could help with staffing our welcome table for the W.E. Pizza and Politics community forum at 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 6. Meet the Cook County Commissioner District 5 and sheriff candidates while enjoying hearth oven pizzas with neighbors. The forum is designed to help you vote with confidence.
On August 20, “National Senior Citizen’s Day” from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., we are hosting a Senior Open House for all Cook County seniors. The Cook County Senior Center and Grand Portage Elders are invited too. We will have lunch and bingo with a suggested donation of $10 to stay and play! Senior service providers are welcome to attend and we will have a presentation on the Tofte Senior Housing Initiative.
We are located at 9 Good Neighbor Hill Road, Tofte. You can call Caroline at 218-663-7977 to RSVP or volunteer. Your community center needs you to thrive, please call today!
