An enjoyable evening was had by all.
The senior citizens in Linton have started a fund drive to build a new senior center. Horizons created a real nice opportunity for much needed discussion in the area of senior citizens. Before the final stage of Horizons was complete, the seniors themselves took action and have started a fund drive to build a new facility. To take part or sponsor someone in the ‘Walkathon’ contact any Sr. Citizen member or president Luella Jochim at 254-4075. Goals for the new center include a handicap accessible facility along with a daily senior meal and the re-introduction of fresh/hot meals on wheels.
Compliments of the Horizons program, residents of Linton can now take advantage of a mini-library dedicated to Leadership. The mini-library is located within the Harry L Petrie Public Library. Books are available to check out during library business hours and are geared to teach individuals how to become better leaders.
