A reminder to everyone that our friends from Accolade Health Care will be at the center on Monday, Feb. 6 to give health tests.
They give the tests to our patrons, as well as anyone else in the community that wants them. They will be at the center from 9:30 - 11 a.m.
They come on the first Monday of every month. There is no charge for the tests, which include blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, heart rate and oxygen saturation.
The folks from Accolade also bring birthday cake and ice cream for our members with birthdays in February. This adds a nice touch to our meal that Monday.
There are a lot of good reasons to come to the Senior Citizen Center.
First and foremost, we have some of the best meals in town, cooked by our chef Nancy Cain. And for a very reasonable price.
Meals are served at the center every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, except holidays, from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Members eat for $7 and nonmembers eat for $8. We also have a takeout service for $7.50 and $8.50 respectively.
The center always provides comfortable surroundings, cool in summer and warm in winter.
The center has a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff and patrons. There is always good fellowship at the center.
The menus for the current week’s meals are announced on KEYE and KXDJ. The menus can also be found with this article every Sunday in The Perryton Herald.
The menus can be found on the center web site and can be seen on Allegiance channel 6.
You can also call the center and we will tell what we are having for dinner that day.
It is very easy to join the Senior Citizen Center.
The Senior Citizen Center has three levels of membership, something for everyone.
The single membership is $60 per person.
We also have a sustaining membership at $150 for those who would like to be a members as well as contribute extra to the support of the center.
We have a corporate membership for $200, which will allow everyone at a business, corporation or club to have a membership in the center regardless of their age.

Don’t forget to check out the center’s web site. There are many interesting thing to see and do.
As well as a copy of this article from the Herald, the site has links to the full text of the Bible.
On the miscellaneous page, there are several links to some excellent jigsaw puzzle sites. The puzzles can be adjusted to be easy or difficult.
The activities page has upcoming events for the center. We also have a menu page with the current week’s menus.
The biography page has a picture and story of one of the center’s patrons. Currently the biography is Jimmy (Pood) Palmer. Visit the site often, it is updated regularly.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the center, your home away from home.
The Senior Citizens is a very vital part of this Community and we continually need your support. It's a place where you can find some good food as well as good fellowship.
