Shattuck Senior Center offers game nights
The Shattuck Senior Citizens Center is inviting all Shattuck adults to get in the game.
The center recently began sponsoring a game night on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month, according to the center’s coordinator Harriet Wray.
“There’s such limited activities to do in the wintertime,” Wray said. “We wanted to offer some kind of entertainment.”
Besides entertainment the new game nights also offer a great opportunity “to come and socialize” with other adults in the community, she said.
The game nights were developed after some of the center’s members expressed an interest in getting together to play games like Pitch and Mexican Train, Wray said.
So now from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursdays, she said any area adult can come and play “any kind of card (or domino) game” they would like.
As the program is just getting started, Wray said it is important for those in the community to show their support.
“It’s important that they come so we know that there’s an interest,” she said, noting that if there is not enough interest shown then the program may not last.
But beyond just interest, Wray said the center also needs funding in order to ensure that the new game nights can become a success.
“We have to have money to do activities with the seniors,” she said, adding that other activities sponsored by the center include a Wednesday meal and various craft classes.
She said the center mainly needs money “to help pay bills, utilities.”
The funds that the center raises also go to help ensure that programs, such as the game nights, can be offered at no charge to the community, Wray said.
To help raise the money it needs, the Shattuck Senior Citizens Center will be sponsoring its annual Groundhog Supper from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 3.
The meal will include breakfast favorites such as “biscuits and gravy, pancakes and sausage, coffee and juice,” Wray said.
The cost is by donation only, she said.
For more information about the Groundhog Supper or any of the other events sponsored by the Shattuck Senior Citizens Center, contact the center at (580) 938-2025.
