As an IRS approved charity, these donations also provide the corporation with the chance
to help us meet our mission while receiving a tax deduction as well. For more information, contact Sally at (815) 529-3797.

From Steve’s Desk
I hope this newsletter finds everyone well!! There have been lots of great activities going on at the Center as of late.
We’ve kicked off the barbeque season with our annual Memorial Day Cookout - a great time as had by all. A special thanks to
Mary Sevcik and the Note-Ables for hosting the Center’s annual Variety Show at Prairie Lakes Theater. What a great afternoon...filled with a myriad of acts, each enjoyable in their own regards. Congrats to all on a job well done...BRAVO...BRAVO!!
Our Volunteer Luncheon is scheduled for Saturday, June 25th. This is a very happy day when we get to recognize all
those who give of themselves and their talents in support of our organization and mission. The time that Center’s volunteers
contribute accounts for nearly eight (8) full-time employees. With the organization’s limited resources and commitment to investing them in programs and services to benefit the local community, our volunteers help to make this possible on a daily
basis. They are the heart and soul of the Frisbie Senior Center. A special “Thank You” to our great volunteers.
It seems that Summer is finally upon us?!?!? As such, we hope you’ll be taking advantage of the great weather by
getting together with friends or traveling. Regardless, please be cautious of the weather, especially on the really hot days. It’s
important to stay cool and hydrated...and don’t forget to check on your neighbor every now and again.
As always, let me (us) know if there is anything you’d like to suggest/discuss..
That’s all for now…
Steve

that could save you money and cover the costs of everyday expenses. A report will be generated which will describe the programs you
MAY get help from. This also includes Seniors Free Transit Ride and License Plate Discount. All applications must be submitted online.
Contact your Service Coordinator, Dennis Rosa at (847) 768-5944 to make an appointment for a Benefits Checkup.
