Above: It was Cook County Senior Center Director Bev Green’s turn to be celebrated recently. Her senior center friends and co-workers wished her a very Happy 55th birthday in November. Left: In addition to being busy at the Senior Center, many seniors spend time at the First & Second Thrift Store, which helps support the senior center and other community nonprofits. Audrey and Fred Cain are frequent volunteers at the donation center.
The holidays are a special time to give thanks to our fortune of family and friends. We here at the Senior Center are very fortunate to have such a large, wonderful special extended family of friends.

Christmas with friends
The Senior Center Holiday Party will be Wednesday, December 18 at 2:00 p.m.
The Holiday Party Meal is chicken kiev, rice pilaf, parsley carrots, cinnamon applesauce, and sweet potato pie.
At 12:30 p.m. play the Holiday Musical Trees Game and at 1 p.m. play the gift exchange game. To participate, please bring a wrapped gift valued at less than $10. We will pass out the gifts, open them, and then roll the dice for five minutes. Every time you roll doubles you may swap your gift for someone else’s. It’s a hoot! Come join the fun!
At 1:45 p.m. enjoy an ice cream social provided by the Senior Center.
