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 also available.
The center is a non-profit organization, and we work on donations. Therefore, all are much appreciated. Bernard Meltzer said, “There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.”
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.
There are always fun and meaningful activities happening at the Center, in addition to our regularly scheduled ones as follows: Bingo on Mondays, Fridays at 10:00 Bridge club on Tuesdays, Thursdays at 12:30 *Note we draw numbers at 12:30 to determine who plays or not, and/or how many tables we have.
Line Dancing most Thursdays at 10:00 Noodle Ball on Tuesdays at 10:00 Recently, we had beginner’s crochet on Monday, 7/15, and our monthly celebration for July birthdays on Wednesday, 7/17.
Next week, on Tuesday, 7/23, at 10:00, Amerilife will provide a lunch and learn, and on Wednesday, 7/24, we will donate to the Food Pantry and Animal Shelter. Also, on Wednesday, at 10:00, we will have a purse and jewelry swap.
If there are activities you would like to have at the Center, please contact our Director, Danielle.
If you do not already have a copy of the current July calendar, be sure to pick up your copy next time you are at or nearby the center, so you do not miss out on any of your favorite and/or new activities.
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 8:3010:30 A.M.
If you plan to eat lunch each day, please sign up by 10:30 at the latest. We 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. If you forget to sign up, simply go to the back of the line, and if there is enough food, you may still be served.
For those days you are unable to join us for lunch at the Center, check out this week’s recipe for a crispy chicken recipe: https://www.southernliving.com/hot-honey-chicken- 8642220 “July with its day of blue skies and time that seemingly stands still, holds a special place in my heart.” –Daisaku Ikeda “The summer light is like a perfection of thought.” –Wallace Stevens “Let us live like flowers -wild and beautiful and drenched in sun.” –Ellen Everett
