Corning Senior Center holding Membership Drive

The Corning Senior Center at 1403 Main Street has been having its share of on-again/off again seasons what with the COVID pandemic, but now is back in full swing. The Center serves delicious lunches to members every weekday, as well as delivering meals to the homebound. For those of you (60 or older) who enjoy a good meal that you don’t have to cook, or like playing cards, dominoes, pool, and other activities, this is a good time to stop in and join. As it happens, the Center is holding a membership drive and looks forward to welcoming you. Even if you prefer just sitting around enjoying the company of people your own age, talking about the way things were and the way things are, or talking about your grandkids or your hobbies. Whatever you like to talk about you will find someone who is interested and happy to listen.
