PREBLE COUNTY — The Senior Center has several great opportunities for seniors.

Medicare Academy

The ABC’s & D’s of Medicare. A free educational workshop via zoom on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 1:30 p.m. Learn more about Medicare and learn what you need. James Ritchie of Medicare Resource Center will be hosting. Call to sign up, 937-456-4947. You will need an active email address and computer or smart phone to participate.

Chronic Disease Workshop

We are able to provide this six week self-management of chronic disease workshop over the phone! If you want support in managing your health, communication, and even taking action on ideas, this is a great workshop for you! Call to sign up, spots are limited, 937-456-4947. This course will start in October and will be at 2 p.m., and will run for six consecutive weeks. You must be able to commit to the majority of the six weeks.

Staying Healthy Breakfast Program

Staying Healthy is designed to support adults age 60 and older who are unable to prepare meals and lack meal support at home or in their community. To serve older adults with greatest economic and social need, this initiative will place emphasis on low-income older adults as well as older Ohioans living in rural areas; with severe disabilities; with limited English-speaking ability; and with Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders.

PCCOA is offering Breakfast as part of the Staying Healthy Program. Monday through Friday (starting Sept. 1), between the hours of 8-10 a.m. Each day has a specific meal. You must pre-register the day before, as limited spots are available. Also, it is curbside pick up only. We only ask for a donation of $2.50, if you are able to give. Each meal is designed to be 1/3 of your daily diet.

Drive Thru Thursdays

We are enjoying seeing on Wednesdays at our drive thru! Keep stopping by to get your free treat! We have given away pretzels, ice cream, cookies, brownies, and often time grab brags with even more gifts inside. Every Thursday from 2-3 p.m. the Senior Activities Center is having a drive thru for our seniors! Treats are limited, so when we run out, we are out. The treat changes every week, it could be anything!
