Excitement is a stir among our senior citizens from Patrick County and surrounding areas with the planned meetings of the 2nd Thursday Citizens Group ramping back up starting on July 13 at the Hooker Building at Stuart Rotary Field.
The fun will begin at 11 each 2nd Thurs (except in Sept due to the Patrick County Agricultural Fair) with a variety of musical performances by local groups with a meal to follow.
Often, informative comments are provided by senior service providers, such as the Area Agency on Aging, the Landmark Center which frequently does blood pressure checks, Reynolds Homestead and the College for Older Adults.
This event sponsored by the Patrick County Recreation Department and hosted by a committee of faithful volunteers was started several years ago. The meetings came to a complete halt when the Pandemic started. Out of extreme concern for senior’s safety, the group has not met since August 13, 2020. When the group was meeting on a regular basis, 60 to 100 people attended and enjoyed the entertainment, the food and most of all, the fellowship with others.
Plans are being made for lunch on July 13; pizzas, salad and beverages will be provided from the voluntary donation funds that are accepted each month. Attendees are asked to bring desserts to be shared.
The entertainment will be by Philip Adams, pianist and vocalist. A warm invitation is extended to all the senior community.
