Dibble Senior Center News - Holidays 2009


Dibble Senior Citizens News

Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!!

It’s almost time for Santa and I’m being good!!! I’ve chosen not to torment our esteemed Vice President, Dale McAskill, this week, in hopes of getting a better present from Santa. We’ll see!!

At this time of year, we need to recognize the people who actually make possible our ongoing effort of senior advocacy in this ever-increasing negative environment for seniors in Oklahoma. We hope the next 10 years will be better for senior issues than the last 10 have been, being mindful of our common mission here at Dibble Senior Citizens. Without our volunteers, our work could not have happened this last year. Listed below are people who have volunteered since starting the Dibble Senior Citizen Center in October, 2007. Some are having health problems and can come work on a limited basis. “I” is unable to work at this time; “M” moved from our area; and as far as we know, only on death. Included in our list are a few who are under 55, but are regular in their volunteer hours. We thank them all. If we have missed anyone, or misspelled your names, please forgive us.
