ATTENTION SEHIOR CITIZENS INPUT NEEDEDI A survey is being made by the W’alkerton Medical Clinic and other interested parties to determine if there is a need for a Senior Citizens “REAL Services Meals Program “ in the Town of Walkerton. There are two such programs in the nearby communities of Koontz Lake and North Liberty. Senior citizens who are 60 years old and upwards and 30 such seniors need to eat daily in order to establish the program in Walker ton. We need input from area families and friends to find out just how many who would benefit from the program would be interested. Area churches have been contacted to help in the survey. If you are a senior citizen or know of one and are interested in a good hot meal served daily, please contact your pastor, the Walkerton Medical Clinic, 586-3114; iris lones. 586 3382; or Jane Chapman. 586-2134; The cost of the nutritionally sound meals is SI 00 for each meal and one day advance notice of intent to eat is required If enough people interested an attempt will be made to establish such a program in Walkerton. A place to serve the meals will be needed along with volunteers who will be needed to serve the meals If the quota cannot be met volunteers will be needed to drive the seniors to the Koontz Lake or North Liberty sites. It is hoped that enough volunteers will help with the driving so that the program can be started immediately. Surelv in a town this size enough volunteers will come to aid in this worthwhile endeavor and if we all take a turn at helping it will not become burdensome for just a few people.
