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. Therefore, all are much appreciated. Mayo Angelou said, “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”
The center is ever thankful for our generous donors: Panera Bread, Smurfit Kappa, 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 10:00 Bridge club on Tuesdays, Thursdays at 12:30 Noodle Ball on Tuesdays at 11:00, Crafts on Thursdays at 10:00 In addition, you can often find these fun games going on: Hand and Foot, Mah-jong, jigsaw puzzles, and 42 (dominos).
Last week the Center hosted a fabulous modeling event; everyone looked gorgeous!
On March 13, we had our monthly covered dish event. The Center provided fried chicken from Brookshire’s, and everyone brought their fave side dish or dessert, always fun and delicious!
If there are other activities you would like to have, please contact our Director, Danielle.
If you do not already have a copy of the current March calendar, please be sure to grab yours next time you are nearby the center, so you do not miss out any of your favorite and/or new activities coming up.
For those days and times you are unable to attend breakfast and or lunch at the Center, check out this week’s recipe for a delicious chicken dish: https:// whole30.com/recipes/whole30-chicken-korma We donate regularly to the Food Pantry. If there are non-perishable food donations you care to share, feel free to drop by the center and place them in the food donation cabinet.
If you are 60 or older and want to join us for lunch at noon, please either drop by or call 972-552-6690 to sign up by 10:30 a.m. In addition, breakfast at the center is 8:30-10:30 am.
It is key that if you plan to eat breakfast and/or lunch each day, please sign up by 10:30 at the latest. A good idea is to look at each week’s menu and sign up early, so you don’t worry about forgetting and there is always enough food for everyone to eat!
