Avoid Winter Isolation
With winter quickly approaching and the cold weather drawing near isolation and
loss of independence is a reality for senior citizens and those living with special
mobility needs.
With this in mind it is important to start planning a safe and reliable mode of
transportation to attend medical appointments, social outings, run errands,
shopping, getting to and from work and school, and get to the Senior Center. The
Whiteside County Senior Center offers many ways to stay active and avoid
isolation in the winter months. Come enjoy lunch with friends, attend an exercise
class, play pool, cards, and Mexican train domains, enjoy the benefits of our
wonderful computer lab or just hang out and read in our library. Whatever you
would like to do make sure you don't let "Old Man Winter" keep you from doing it!
Whiteside County Public Transportation is open to all ages and can get you where
you want to go! Call 815-625-7433 (RIDE) today to schedule your ride!
Help solve the Mystery
The full history of shuffleboard is not known. Though there is some knowledge of
its development, its actual origins, the place and date where it was first played,
remain a mystery. Inevitably, this uncertainty gives rise to some debate, even
disagreement, about which country can claim to have invented it. However there is
no dispute concerning its age as a form of popular amusement. In Europe as it has
a history that goes back over 500 years. The Whiteside County Senior Center will
be starting a shuffleboard group, as requested from some of our members in
January! We are very excited to see our old shuffleboard floors shined and ready
for play. So dust off your skills and come enjoy a round or two on Thursday
mornings at 9:30am starting, Thursday January 5th! Who knows maybe we can
solve the mystery……
