Mineola Senior Citizens Center plans long-waited open house

Posted

The Senior Citizens Center of Mineola is planning an open house Friday, Oct. 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the center at 308 W. University.

“Due to the pandemic we had to put off hosting this event for a long time,” said President Linda Wray. ”We want to invite seniors to come in and see the renovations and improvements that have been made as a result of the grants available through the Meredith Foundation. Their generosity has enabled us to add new floors, new appliances, roof repairs and enlarge the parking lot, to name a few.”

Plans include adding more activities such as arts and crafts, board games, exercise and informative speakers, depending on the seniors’ interests.

Refreshments will be served in addition to drawings for door prizes donated by local merchants.
