Seniors
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 available.
The Center is a non-profit organization, so we work on donations. All donations are appreciated.
“Money is not the only commodity that is fun to give. We can give time, we can give our expertise, and we can give a smile. What does that cost? The point is, none of us can ever run out of something worthwhile to give.” –Steve Goodier The center is ever thankful for our wonderful donors: Edward Jones Investments, Panera Bread, Papa John’s Pizza, and Bingo sponsors: Alinea Hospice, Cheyenne Medical Lodge, Empower, Rely On Credit Union, and Oak Street Health, each of whom contributes weekly prizes. Also, to Fay Headley with Edward Jones, who always provides a beautiful birthday cake to celebrate our monthly birthdays. Please frequent these generous donors whenever you can.
There is always something happening at the Center, thanks to our dynamic Director, Dena. Be sure to pick up your copy of this month’s calendar so as not to miss out on anything, including the following regularly scheduled activities this month: Bingo on Mondays, Fridays at 10:00 Noodle Ball on Tuesdays at 11:00 Bridge club on Tuesday, Thursdays at 12:30 Art on Thursdays at 9:00 Line Dancing, with a twist, on Thursdays at 11:00 There are also other fun games going on, such as Hand and Foot, Mah-jong, and Jigsaw puzzles.
