There is no cost to come into the center and there is no cost to become a member. Here are some of the activities going on in August:<\/p>\n
Senior Meals<\/strong> Birthday Party<\/strong> Bingo<\/strong> Euchre Tournaments<\/strong> Trivia Contests<\/strong> Monday Fundraising Lunch<\/strong> August Party<\/strong> If you are a senior and have any other ideas of activities they should be doing at the Senior Center just let them know – they are always asking members for activity ideas and work to keep everyone happy.<\/p>\n In addition to the planned activities senior citizens are always welcome to stop in to use the Exercise Room, work on a puzzle, play other card or board games or just to socialize.<\/p>\n If you don’t think you are old enough for the center, but want to support them in some way, consider donating items they can use for bingo, in their gift shops or things they can pass on to volunteer crafters. They take things like stuffed animals, nic naks, puzzles, books, magazines, fabric, yarn, stuffing for pillows and quilt batting.<\/p>\n If you have any questions about the Senior Center stop in or give them a call at 989-224-4257.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August, 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48782\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
