We’re in full swing down here at the Hub City Senior Center and are gearing up for another fun-filled July.
Our senior prom and luau was once again a great success. We crowned our 2019 King and Queen: Dale and Ginnie Christopherson and our Prince and Princess are Terry & Janet Mitchell. We had such a fun evening. The food was delicious and the music delightful.
Thanks to all donations we were able to raise over $2,000. We will most likely put this money toward our bathroom remodel. What a blessing you all are. A special thank you to Dub Lambert and Nancy Brown, our 2018 king and queen. You represented us so well and we are very appreciative. 
As I mentioned, plans are well underway for the bathrooms off our main room to be updated and remodeled. This has been a long time coming. This will be funded mainly from memorial monies received. Hopefully this project will be completed soon. I’ll keep you updated. 
July Movie Day will be held Friday, July 12 at 12:15 p.m. For your viewing pleasure we are featuring “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” We are serving popcorn, soda pop, candy, and homemade banana splits.

On Wednesday, July 17 we will have our July birthday party and picnic at the senior center.
