Autumn has arrived and as we look through the bare trees, we have a new view. If you need some new scenery, come and join us for activities at the Ellsworth Senior Citizens Center, located at 229 W. Main St. (lower level of English Lutheran Church). Someone should greet you at the door, but if not ring the black buzzer to the right of the door and someone will come. Our center is more than a place to gather – it is a vibrant, welcoming place where friendships grow, and laughter and chatter fill the room!

Every Monday and Friday from 1-4 p.m. the pool players meet to shoot pool and welcome others to join them.  

Discovering Together Tuesday: at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, get creative and kick off the holiday season at Brush Strokes Creative, 273 N. Morse St., where we will make unique wooden ornaments that will be perfect for hanging on the tree or adding to a gift package. This program is free and all ages are welcome. Lunch will be served.    

Annual Veterans Day Program: 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Ellsworth Middle School. Come support our veterans as well as the students who provide a wonderful Veterans Day program.

Celebrating Seniors: At 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, Ellsworth Food Pantry Coordinator Heidi Albarado will share information and statistics on food insecurity in our county and share with us the many programs and services provided through the Hunger Prevention Council of Pierce County.
