GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe
We celebrated a few of the “Birthday Gang” this week with extra friends and families, Darlene Sherstad and Gene Gronlund’s on Tuesday and Jim Taylor on Friday. Betty Hanson and Mary Danielson were big winners this week at Bingo! We may have had a small group, but we had a good time trying different bingo board challenges! Remember, Thursday is evening dining. Make sure you have your reservation in. Why not make a night of it and stick around after evening dining and join in on the Grantsburg Historical Society’s topic of the month, “Service Stations.” How many kinds of pumps can you remember? Was there a station down the road? What was the cost of gallon of gas when you started driving? Maybe you have pictures to share. Bring them along and join the conversation. We’re always looking for ways to raise money for the everyday expenses at the Senior Center through donations of pieces of material sewn together by the special hands of some of our seniors. We have a quilt to offer as a fundraiser. More details will be available later. You’re welcome to stop in and have a look! Glad to see the container for old eye glasses is again almost full for the Lion’s Club! Don’t forget those box top labels. They also can be dropped off for the school. Stop in! We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and the “Book Nook.” For meal reservations, call 715-463-2940.
