Food, chips and dip, festive

decorations and hilarity rounded out the souper event, just one of the

many fun activities held for Fayette County seniors 60 and older at the

Friendship Center. The Center provides socializing and educational programs,

creative arts, exercise, lunch, music and games for seniors. Transportation

is provided on a limited basis for those who are unable to drive.

Each day attendees are given

a snack, participate in appropriate exercise, eat lunch and can enjoy

a game of Bingo. Each Friday at 10 a.m. the Friendship Walking Club takes

off. Once a month the group travels to Wal-Mart for shopping and on another

day participants visit the library.

The first Monday of each month

volunteer registered nurses give blood pressure checks. On other Monday's

the Center hosts various informational nutrition and educational sessions.

For more information regarding

the Friendship Center, call Fayette Senior Services at 770-461-0813.
