The Layden Senior Citizens Center of Forney would like to welcome you at 101 Main Street in City Hall, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please enter the front, or through Handicap accessible doors located at the back of City Hall where reserved parking for seniors is also available.
The center is a non-profit organization and we work on donations, so any and all are much appreciated.
The center is very thankful for our generous donors: Panera Bread, Papa John’s Pizza, and our Bingo sponsors: Alinea Hospice, Cheyenne Medical Lodge, Empower, Rely On Credit Union, and Oak Street Health, each of whom contributes weekly prizes. We invite you to frequent them whenever you can.
There is always something fun happening at the Center, including regularly scheduled activities as follows:
Bingo on Mondays, Fridays at 10:30, Bridge club on Tuesday, Thursdays at 12:30, Zentangle on Thursdays at 9:00 In addition, you can often find these fun games going on: Hand and Foot, Mah-jong, jigsaw puzzles, and 42 (dominos).
If there are other activities you would like to have, please contact Dena, our enchanting, creative Director! If you do not already have a copy of the February calendar, please be sure to grab one next time you are nearby the center, so you do not miss out any of your favorite and new activities coming up.
For instance, Dena has coordinated a special craft day on Thursdays during February. From 9:00-11:45, we will be making Valentine’s Day party bags!
Upcoming events the following week of 2/7-2/11 also will include: A jewelry and purse swap day on Tuesday, February 8 at 11:00, similar to the white elephant games, so much fun!
Also, Wednesday, February 9, we will have a covered dish day for lunch. Bring your favorite side dish or dessert!
The Site Council meeting was held this past Tuesday, February 1 at 9:00.
We donate regularly to the Food Pantry. If there are nonperishable food donations you care to share, feel free to drop by the center and place in the food donation cabinet. We will also be donating to the Forney Animal Shelter. They are in great need of food and kitty litter. You can drop your donations off at the Center.

Although we are entering the second month of the new year, it is still not too late to set new goals. An old saying goes: ‘But what if I fail? You will. The answer to the what if question is, you will. A better question may be, after I fail, what then? Well, if you’ve chosen well, after you fail, you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger, and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those who are afraid to try.’
“Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip.” –Robert Hastings
“Among the things you can still give and keep, are your word, your smile, and a grateful heart.” –Zig Ziglar
“It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.” –Mother Theresa
Whether winter, spring, summer or fall, may February bring you love, happiness, beautiful blessings, hugs, and an abundance of all that your heart desires!
February, chapter 2 of 12, let us make it a great one.
