At Tuesday’s Morris County Commissioners weekly meeting, Colleen Anderson, President for the Morris County Senior Citizens Inc., gave a monthly report on the services being provided within Morris County. The Council Grove Senior Center is serving approximately 100 meals per day. The center has increased from 2 meal delivery routes to 3 meal delivery routes when adequate staffing is available. Several meals have been cold by delivery time due to the routes being longer. The center is hoping to improve the “cold meal” issue by adding the additional route. Diana Jost will be the new District 3 representative for the Morris County Senior Citizens Inc. governing board. The Council Grove Senior Center hosts card games in the afternoons, bingo every Thursday, ladies’ coffee on Tuesday mornings, and other social events. All are welcome and encouraged to join.
