Winn Council on Aging, both members and staff, enjoyed a Christmas party held at the Main Street location on December 21.  No one went home without some gifts, prizes and a smile on their face.

With a backdrop of Christmas music, those attending ate cupcakes and ice cream, chips and dips.  Everyone received a ticket for door prizes and those door prizes turned out to be non-stop as prizes were given out until everyone had something.  Additional gift bags included an apple, orange, candy, ornament and a gift.

Bingo, always a popular game at Council on Aging, offered bigger prizes that normal, some donated by supporting individuals or businesses, some provided by the council.

There were 21 in attendance, as well as council staff members.  Some of the guests were picked up by the council while most came on their own.

The next big event at Council on the Aging will be Easter.  

The council building is open weekdays from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. where local residents are invited to come and fellowship.  The council aims itself at persons 60 and older but involvement by all is welcome.  Lunch is served from 11 until noon with a suggested donation of $1.75 (though the lunch cost for younger attendees is not “suggested” but “required”).  Bingo is played Tuesdays and Thursday around 10:15 a.m.
