Local seniors want to get out and be active and a local non-profit is ramping up its calendar of events this spring.

As more seniors get vaccinated and comfortable returning to day-to-day activities, the DeWitt County Friendship Center is feeding off those vibes and providing lots of opportunities for them to do so. Executive Director Paula Jiles says the month of March offers a good amount of things to do.

Jiles indicates they are working to offer even more to seniors in April, including beginning to go back to local productions. Seniors can begin registering for April events on April 1 and she encourages anyone wanting to go to call as soon as possible or stop by the Friendship Center and inquire quickly as she anticipates sign-ups filling up fast. 

Jiles indicates there have been a number of programs resume this month and support groups started back up this week as well.

She encourages any seniors that are comfortable returning to the Friendship Center to contact them with questions or details about their events and daily calendar by calling 217-935-9411.
