HAYS SENIOR CENTER

Local seniors enjoyed celebrating Kansas Day Mon., Jan. 29 at the Hays Senior Center, 2450 E. 8th St.

The highlight event for the month of January was saved for the recognition of Kansas Day with about 50 seniors attending.

They participated in the delightful opportunity to have a duo of live musicians playing western music that fit in with the spirit of Kansas Day. Hays residents Wayne Lang and his wife Tammy were not short for adding in bits of humorous stories between songs during the half hour leading up to lunch.

Having been so enjoyable, with a great round of applause for their performance, the duo was asked by some senior members if they could return for Valentine’s Day, this month on February 14th. Senior Center Director Judy Bolte noted that calls are already being received for advance reservations for that day.

Bolte can be reached at the Center number 785-628-6644 for more information. “Our hope is the younger residents consider bringing out their parents or grandparents and have lunch with them, too,” she urged.

Activities and lunches are available for seniors ages 60 or older at the Hays Senior Center. Reservations must be made the day before eating at the Meal Site. For menus, reservations or cancellations, call 785-628-6644 between 9 a.m. and noon. Meals are served at 12:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
