OSCODA COUNTY – July remained hot and wet, not even going to try to guess what August will bring. Whatever it is, just remember to be careful and make sure you stay hydrated with water when it is hot and humid. Do your outside activities in the early morning or evening hours to avoid the hottest part of the day and sunshine.
The center is open Monday thru Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you need a place to cool down, come on in and relax here for a while. You can read a book, do a puzzle, use the computers, or just sit on the couch and stay cool.
There are several food drops happening this month. The Together We Can Pantry drops are on Aug.12 and again on Aug. 19 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
For the next couple of months, they will also be having a drop for
produce. The produce box will be on Aug. 26 also from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Please note though that if they run out of food to give out, they may be gone early.
The monthly CSFP (senior cheese box) will be on Aug. 17 from 10-11 a.m.
All these take place at the fairgrounds. TEFAP (every 3-month box) will also be happening this month it is on Aug. 11from 8-11 a.m.
TEFAP happens here at the senior center.
The council’s monthly Board meeting will be on Aug. 9 at 1 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.
Just a reminder, the center will pay for a 1-hour ride with OCATS if you are age 60 to 64 and have some local errands to get taken care of. Just give us a call and we will set it up for you.
A beautiful full moon will be shining down on Aug. 22. I hope you get to see it. Have a terrific month and do not forget to smile at least once a day. Pass those smiles on to others also, it might make someone’s day.
