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. Robert Louis Stevenson said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”
The center is very 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.

It is always a fun, enjoyable time breaking bread with friends and members.
On Wednesday, June 19, we had our monthly birthday celebration. Happy June birthdays, and congrats on another year around the sun, to Deborah Morgan, Arthur Harris, Terry Jones, Shirley Norris, Debbie Kuhl, Deborah Youngbrown, Sherrie Walker, Joann Swanson, and Ofelia!

If you do not already have a copy of the current June calendar, be sure to pick up your copy next time you are at or nearby the center, so you do not miss out any of your favorite and/or new activities.

If you plan to eat lunch each day, please sign up by 10:30 at the latest. Make a point to look at each week’s menu and sign up early, so as not to worry about forgetting and to be sure there is enough food for everyone to eat.
