The monthly Wessington Springs Senior/Community Center meeting was held on Monday December 11, 2022.
The Minutes and Treasurer’s reports were read and approved.
Santa came to the center Saturday, December 3 to greet all the children in town and pass out goody bags donated by Sandy and Denny Beckman. A meal of chili, chicken noodle soup and bars was served by the Senior/Community Center during and after Santa’s visit.
The center is looking very festive with the donation by Fred Knight of a blow up Christmas tree and Santa Claus.
Bingo in January was discussed for January 8, but with the SDSU Jackrabbits playing for the FCS title in Frisco, Texas on January 8 (Go Jacks!) the center will postpone the bingo and taco bar supper to another date in January. Read more about this in upcoming issues of the True Dakotan.
The new floor cleaner has been delivered and Dianne Von Eye has the floors shining! Dianne also reported she served 800 meals in the month of November.
The SACC Consignment Store donated a snow blower to the Senior Center to help clear snow on the sidewalk and parking areas. Tim Holzwarth and Jim Deines will help keep the parking lot cleared with their snowplows.
Vice President Kim Schultz will conduct the January 9 meeting. Senior/Community Center Meetings are held the second Monday of every month with the next meeting on Monday, January 9, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. following the noon meal.
