Join the DeWitt County Friendship Center for an open house this Saturday in Clinton.

Leadership of the Clinton facility hopes the public will come out and check out what they have to offer to seniors in the area. Executive Director Paula Jiles indicates they will have some of the activities they offer for the public to participate in.

The DeWitt County Friendship Center aims to be a resource for seniors to maintain their independence. Jiles hopes the open house will help highlight the mission of the Friendship Center.

Jiles says the atmosphere of the Friendship Center on a regular day is one with lots of socialization and laughter and seniors of the community enjoying themselves.

With temperatures expected to be in the mid-90s all weekend and an excessive heat warning in effect, the Friendship Center also serves as a cooling center and the public can learn more about the center while also cooling off.
