For the month of February, the Jefferson Senior Citizens Center (JSCC) has put together a calendar of daily, weekly and special events that will focus on the health, happiness and experiences of their clients.
From afternoon game sessions, special social hours, activities to improve the mental and physical health of clients to bingo parties and special healthcare visitors – there will be plenty to do and experience this month at the local senior citizens center.
The center is located at 1155 N. Jefferson St., in Monticello. Unless otherwise scheduled, the center's regular activities will begin at 10 a.m. each morning. The events are scheduled to end early enough that participants will be able to leave by 2 p.m.
Meals are prepared fresh each weekday, from Monday-Friday.
For more information about scheduled events, contact the JSCC's Older American Act Coordinator Annie McDuffie at (850) 342-0242 ext. 231.
