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. Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
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 Earlier this week, there was an Amerilife lunch and learn on Tuesday, 7/23, and a purse and jewelry swap on Wednesday, 7/24.

“Summertime. It was a song. It was a season. I wondered if that season would ever live inside me.” –Benjamin Alire Saenz “I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks for the heavy perfume of wild roses in July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights.” –Ann Voskamp
