Thurmont Senior Center
by Tara Miller
As we welcome the month of June, all of us at the Thurmont Senior Center look forward to another month filled with activities, friendship, laughter, and community connections. We always enjoy seeing familiar faces walk through our doors, and we warmly welcome anyone who may be visiting us for the first time.
Throughout June, we will continue offering many of the activities our members enjoy most, including Strength & Balance classes, Chair Yoga, Zumba Gold with Kellie Bevard, Chair Dancing, Cards & Games, Stitch & Chat, Manicure Mondays, Craftin’ in the Catoctins, and our popular 50/50 Bingo afternoons. We will also celebrate our June birthdays together and continue hosting special programs and helpful services for seniors in our community.
One of the things I love most about the Thurmont Senior Center is that there truly is something for everyone. Whether you come to exercise, craft, enjoy lunch with friends, play cards, or simply spend time socializing, we hope the center feels like a second home.
I would also like to remind the community that our facility is available to rent for parties, meetings, showers, family gatherings, and other events. We are proud to offer a welcoming space right here in Thurmont for community members to enjoy.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely heavily on the kindness and generosity of volunteers. Right now, we are especially looking for volunteers who would be willing to help drive seniors to doctor appointments, grocery stores, and other local errands. We are also in need of volunteers to help deliver lunchtime meals to homebound seniors within our service area. Even volunteering once a week can make a tremendous difference in someone’s life.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and members, I also want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who received our recent fundraising letter and made a donation. Your support truly means so much to us. Every contribution helps us continue providing meals, activities, transportation assistance, and valuable services that help local seniors remain active, connected, and supported. We are grateful to be part of such a caring and generous community.
If you would like more information about activities, volunteering, meal services, or renting the center, please give us a call at 301-271-7911 or stop by and visit us at 806 E. Main Street in Thurmont.
We hope to see you soon!
