Welcome September and happy Labor Day! We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all in the county that voted yes on the millage for the Council on Aging! We are grateful to be able to continue to serve the seniors in our county.
This is your reminder that the Senior Center will be closed on Mon., Sept. 2 for the Labor Day holiday.
We have now entered the “ber” months. This means we are beginning to approach summer’s end. I like September, it is my favorite month. We usually have warmth in the days but cooler nights which are perfect for sitting around a nice bonfire. However, we have also experienced some Septembers that were still very hot and humid. If we have one of those years, remember the Senior Center has air conditioning and you can come here to cool down and just relax for a while.
I do not have any confirmed information regarding the (senior cheese box) food drop. I know the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan is working on finding a place in the county for the distribution to continue to happen. When we have confirmed information on that happening, we will get the word out.
The Together We Can food distribution will be having two distributions this month. The first one on Sept. 5 will be a (veggie box) and then on Sept.19, will be the regular box. They will both be from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. They ask that you bring ID to show you live in the county and a banana box if you have one. If they run out of food, they will be gone before 2:30.
The Council’s Board meeting will be on Mon., Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
September’s full moon, also called the Harvest Moon, will be beautifully shining on Sept. 17. It will be the second of four supermoons for 2024. Hope you get to see it!
There is always at least one thing to be grateful for daily. Have a wonderful month and keep smiling! Pass on those smiles to brighten someone else’s day too. Please be kind, it is such an easy thing to do. The world sure needs more smiles, positivity, and kindness. A small kind gesture goes along way. We are not alone; everyone is struggling with something.
