MARCH CHANGES ~ MEALS ON WHEELS:
We would like to extend our Best Wishes to Mr. Joe Paulsen, Meals on Wheels Director, as he has
began his retirement in late January. We wish him the very best. Please join us in welcoming Patti Thummel,
the new Meals on Wheels Director. Patti began work at the Senior Center 3 years ago as the Meals on
Wheels county route driver and planning activities at the Senior Center. March is National Meals on Wheels
Month. Patti is inviting City and County Commissioners to deliver meals during the month of March.
Several new changes are coming to Meals on Wheels in March. We have an arrangement with St.
Catherine Hospital to provide the meals which are delivered to your home. The decision has been made to
offer only one meal choice each day. Additionally, meals will be delivered Monday through Friday, excluding
Holidays. If a meal is required for Saturday, a sack lunch will be provided by the hospital.
If you or a loved one is in need of home-delivered meals, please call Patti at 620-272-3620. Meals are
$2.50 per meal. A doctor's note is required and meals can begin very quickly.
