Lunch Costs to increase January 3rd by $.25

Due to increased costs for food ingredients our lunch program will need to increase the cost for lunches in 2012. Lunch prices will raise by a quarter per meal on January 3, 2012. Individual lunches will be available for $3.25 or $3.75 for take-out and 5 lunch punch cards will be available for $16.25. All previously purchased Lunch-Punch Cards and Bingo Lunch Cards will be valid and accepted into 2012. Our Lunch Punch Cards are similar to Forever Stamps. The cards do not have an expiration date and are "good" to use anytime for lunch. A great Christmas gift may be Lunch Punch Cards. Any Lunch Punch cards purchased prior to end of business in 2011 will remain $15.00. "Food for thought" - you may wish to purchase extra cards prior to the end of the year. MSWC staff strive to keep costs down for the Lunch Program and appreciate the help of our dedicated volunteers who make the Lunch Program possible.

2012 MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

Volunteer Corner

Volunteers are the glue that holds The Wellness Center together. Volunteering is good for your health at any age, but it's especially beneficial in older adults. Studies have found that those who volunteer have a lower mortality rate than those who do not, even when considering factors like the health of the participants. Volunteering has also been shown to lessen symptoms of chronic pain and heart disease. If you are interested in volunteering with the Wellness Center, we would love for you to join us. We are flexible; any amount of time you can contribute is helpful, call Chris at 851-4344 to sign up.
