Here we are in September, the ninth month of this year. It marks the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and is known for the Harvest Moon, the birthstone sapphire and the flower aster. Historically September is known for the terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001, and the beginning of the NFL season. Of all the months of the year, September is spelled with the most letters. Also, September 17 is Constitution Day, the day that the U.S. Constitution was adopted. Now let’s get to the important part—our upcoming menu at the Watonga Senior Citizens Center! Thursday, Sept. 11 Goulash Friday Chicken Salad Monday Chili or Vegetable Soup Tuesday Beef Pot Pie Wednesday Steak Fingers Thursday, Sept. 18 Liver and Onions Friday Fried Chicken We eat daily, except Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, we eat from 11 a.m. to noon to accommodate the Kiwanis Club meeting. Call any morning before 10 for home delivery. Our meals are still $7 and you will receive a meat dish, potatoes and gravy, salad, vegetables, homemade roll and dessert, with a drink. It is a bargain, and we would love to have you come eat with us.

On Saturday, Sept. 13, we will host Fun and Games Night from 6- 9 p.m. Bring a snack to share and enjoy live music, card games, dominoes and pool.
On Friday, Sept. 19, the nurses from Mercy Hospital will come to the center to check our glucose levels and blood pressure. This is an important service, and it is free to all. They begin about 9:45 a.m.
We have two beautiful quilts hanging at the center. They were made by the late Judy Poarch Curtin, and are being raffled off by the Cheyenne Quilt Guild at the upcoming Watonga Cheese Festival. One quilt is shades of lavender and green and is queen-sized. The other is a lap quilt and is a Bible block of the month. Tickets are $5 each, or 5 for $20. The first winner drawn will get to pick which of these lovely quilts they will take home. Come see them and buy your tickets.
