As a result of community concern expressed at a June 30 meeting, the Senior Opportunity Center will once again be serving meals five days a week, Angela Pittman of Department of Social Servics announced on July 7. The County Commissioners have stated their willingness to keep serving the lunches for six months while efforts are made to boost attendance to an average of twenty participants per day. Fund-raising may still be needed. Tyrone Greenlee announced that a church has volunteered to make a donation, after hearing of the seniors’ plight.

Ms. Juanita Jones, who turned 94 on June 14, is the oldest resident of Pisgah View Apartments Ð and she loves to sing.
By Cathy Holt
“I’ve been a singer ever since I was born. I sing with a lady from Canton, we go out to nursing homes and everywhere! She plays the violin-she do the playing, and I do the hollering! She heard me singing at a prayer meeting at the Senior Citizens, and she said to me ‘You’re the one I’m hunting.’ Then she started taking me around to different places to sing.”
