The Layden Senior Citizens Center of Forney welcomes you at 101 Main Street in City Hall, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
You may enter at the front or through Handicap accessible doors located at the back of City Hall. Reserved parking for seniors is available 9:00-2:00.
The center is a non-profit organization, and we work on donations. So if you are looking for a good cause to donate, this is a great one. All help is appreciated.
Also, we have a Blessing Cabinet; if you have items to donate or you need items, do give what you can or take what you need.
Many thanks to 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. Please frequent them whenever possible.
There are always wonderful activities going on at the Center, thanks to our wonderfully creative Director, Dena. Last week’s events, in addition to our regularly occurring activities, included a fun celebration on Wednesday, 5/18, for May birthdays.
Happy birthdays this month to Barbara Bottoms, David Brewster, Mary Penny, Hazel Newton, Yvonne Williams, Doris Dobbs, Lawanda Cochran, Gail King and Paul Johnson!
Next week, on Wednesday, 5/25, we will donate to the Food Pantry and Animal Shelter, and our Senior Picnic will be held at the Kaufman Civic Center this year, on Friday, May 27, from 10:00-1:00. There will be games, door prizes, vendors, and lunch will be provided, looking forward to this!

May is one of the top three months of the year for outdoor living. Before it gets too hot and humid, many enjoy going out on the lake, fishing, on picnics, camping and other adventures.
