* Daylight Savings Time: ends at 2:00 am on Sunday, November 6 and our clocks “fall back” one hour.
It is a good idea to ask a family member, neighbor or property owner to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors when you change your clocks. Did you know that alarm sensors wear out?
The fire department recommends replacing your smoke detectors every ten years. When you install a new detector, use a permanent marker to write the date on the inside of the new detector’s cover.
*2nd Intro to Pickleball: On Wednesdays in November, Ed Bracken will lead “Intro to Pickleball for Beginners.”
This free class is open to residents of Fulton County, age 60 and over. No experience is necessary.
Classes will be from 2 to 3:30 pm in the Fulton County Senior Center gym, 240 Clinton Street, Wauseon.
Bring your own water bottle marked with your name. Bring a pair of sneakers to change into if it’s raining outside, to keep water off the court.
Pickleball is a fun and social sport that people of all ages find “addicting.” Come and see for yourself what the excitement is all about. Call to register, 419-337-9299.
* Restrain Dogs: If you receive home-delivered meals and have a dog, please restrain the dog or put it in another room when your meal driver delivers your meal.
The driver will not deliver if the dog is loose. Thank you for working with us to ensure safe delivery of your home-delivered meal.
* Menu Subject to Change: Supply chain issues continue to affect the United States, and the Senior Center is no exception.
Please be aware that our kitchen will continue to provide you with nutritious meals.
Sometimes we might have to make substitutions, based on the availability of certain food items.
We appreciate your flexibility when we must make changes to our menu. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
