March / April / May 2020 Hello dear friends, This newsletter will cover Senior Center activities for March, April, May and into June. We hope you survived our rather mild winter without many bumps and are looking forward to participating in our many offerings. Our recent presentation on Aging and Memory reminded us that staying active, involved and social is a great tactic for keeping sharp and youthful! Wayne Township offers something for all interests. Wayne Township Seniors support our Military! We proudly display Wayne Township Veterans’ pictures on our Hall of Honor at the Center. The month of May is dedicated as a collection month for supplies for care packages to send to soldiers in harm’s way, again working with OSOT, Operation Support Our Troops. At the April 28th meeting, we will have a list available of the desired supplies and will collect them the entire month of May. The soldiers have been very grateful for the care packages, letters and Christmas stockings sent from Wayne Township. Judy Shanahan, who spearheads our volunteer efforts, has received many thank you notes from the appreciative soldiers. Thank you in advance for supporting the deserving project!
