Message from the Director
Times have been difficult and at this point there is a snowball effect which seems to affect everything we do. Everything seems to keep going up in price except our incomes. Check out the Personal Financial Tips in this issue of the newsletter. We are committed to keeping the senior center programs as affordable as possible. If you are experiencing financial hardship and have stopped taking a class because of this, please contact Betty Frey about confidential financial assistance for those that may qualify for our scholar-ship fund.
If you are one of the more fortunate ones, and you would like to help other people in our community, please consider making a tax-deductible contribu-tion to the Glenwood Senior Center Scholarship Fund. The levels are as fol-lows: $25, $50, $100, $250 or $500. Checks would be made payable to the Western Howard County Senior Center Council and can be mailed to: Glen-wood Senior Center, Attn: Betty Frey, 2400 Route 97, Cooksville, MD 21723.
Lunch Policy Update
Starting September 1 we will be implementing a new policy for our lunch program. As costs of meals and delivery continue to rise it is imperative that we manage expenses to the best of our ability. At Glenwood, we have no-ticed an increase in the number of ―no shows‖ and unfortunately these meals must be discarded. Therefore, we will no longer be ―rolling over‖ names from one week to the next. It will be the weekly responsibility of each indi-vidual to sign up for lunch for one week in advance. This reservation sys-tem ensures that food and money is not wasted.
A table will be located near the lobby area during regular senior center hours. Several consecutive weeks of lunch sign-up sheets will be available for your convenience along with the monthly menu. Also, these sign up sheets will be available in the dining room during the lunch hour. Remember we order on Tuesday of the previous week. Changes and cancellations can be accom-modated up to the day before. Our goal is to keep waste at a minimum.
The Center has a lunch program. Lunch will be served at 12 noon, Monday—Friday, a suggested donation of $2 is appreciated. Look for the menu in the newsletter. 1 week advance reservation needed! Call JodyBargamian 410-313-4833 to sign up. Also, if you have to cancel, please let Jodi know as early as possible.
