After 13 years, Mary Shields will be stepping down as the program director of the Donley County Senior Citizens Center this Friday, June 5.
The incoming director, Denise Bertrand, says a come and go reception for Shields will be held Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. for everyone who would like to come wish her well.
The senior citizens center has been very busy during the COVID-19 pandemic, preparing two meals (in one container) per day to an average of 130 people in Clarendon and Howardwick since April 1 with most of those being delivered.
The center reopened its dining room Monday with a soft opening and a small crowd. Bertrand and Shields say the center is following state guidelines for social distancing. The center will open for a greater capacity as that becomes acceptable.
The Donley County Senior Citizens Center serves meals from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For a menu, see page four of each week’s Clarendon Enterprise.
