Monroe County Senior Center was honored to celebrate Older Americans Month with our seniors and recognize the inncredible impact they have on our community. We were also pleased to have Commissioner Mick Schumacher join us in celebrating and honoring our seniors.

Established in 1963, Older Amerinans Month recognizes the wisdom, contributions, and achievements of older adults and the important role they play in strengthening our communities and inspiring future generations.

Our celebration included a delicious meal, fellowship, laughter, and a lively game of Trivia, where seniors enjoyed some friendly team competition and plenty of fun together.

We are grateful for our seniors and all they contribute each day. Let us continue to respect, cherish, and honor them - today and every day.

The Noble County Senior Center enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon of Easter activities following their meals. We colored eggs and played Chicken BINGO. Paul Smith and Irene Wilson were the big winners for the day. Finally, the seniors joined the Egg Exchange, rolling dice to determine whether they could keep their decorated egg or trade them with another senior. Each egg contained Senior Bucks or a number corresponding to a prize, such as chocolate rabbits, Easter decor, and Peeps. Our Easter basket winners were Don Egnot, Betty Ramage, and Irene Wilson. The seniors had a great day playing games, making crafts, and enjoying a great meal.
