when the cooks are off (she is a fabulous cook and she loves
to cook).
Pansy often brings cinnamon rolls from home she has baked
to serve the city workers on their daily coffee breaks.
She's known for her delicious cream pies which she bakes at
home and brings to the center to serve. Pansy is
regularly involved in community happenings and etc.
She is a talented quilt maker and helps many learn to
quilt. She works on fundraising events of the center
to support it's existence.

| When you walk in the door at the center, the
room has a pleasing neat appearance of being well kept and
clean. The kitchen being open-like looks inviting of
the good meal being served. There are two cooks every
day plus volunteers who provide assistance as needed.
Donations and fundraisers support the center along with
quilting money paid by those bringing in quilts to be
quilted.
Serving the Kiwanis Club once a week is another means of
support. The center provides the meals on wheels every
weekday that are delivered by volunteers. Meals in the
center are served five days a week around games of dominoes,
canastas and pitch. A quilting club meets at the
center twice a month. Birthdays are celebrated
every month on the last Friday with Bingo and prizes.
