Morton Senior Citizen Center

A place where Senior Citizens are involved with the community!

Morton Senior Citizens Help the Homeless

The Morton seniors have decided to knit hats and scarves for the homeless and needy members of our community. Come to the center on Mondays at 10:00 am to help out with this worthwhile cause. We have the yarn, so just bring your knitting needles. Contact Helen Mullins for more information.

Advisory Board Meets

The Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Board meets the first Thursday of each month at 10:00 am. If you are interested in volunteering or just learning more about how your advisory board works, please feel welcome to attend these monthly gatherings.

Blood Pressure Checks

Free blood pressure checks are available at the Morton Senior Citizen every third Thursday at 11:30 a.m. Don't forget to take care of this important measure for protecting your well-being.

Power Bingo on Fridays

Have you heard about the new game, power bingo, at the Morton Senior Center? In this fun variation of the old game of bingo, you get to win coupons then save and redeem for great prizes. Power bingo will take place every month on the second Thursday and fourth Friday. On power bingo Friday, a clam chowder menu will be served for lunch. Lunch starts at noon, and power bingo starts right afterwards. Mark your calendar for our power bingo days.

Bible Study

A wonderful bunch of folks meets each Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in the Morton Senior Center conference room for bible study. This group is uplifting and knowledgeable, so if you are in need of some spiritual inspiration, stop in for bible study.

The Chamber had an opportunity to chat with the Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Board:

Chamber: In the communities of East Lewis County, are you aware of the Meth scenario and if so, what are some of your views on this subject?:

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: We feel that this issue is one in need of an aggressive anti-movement because it hampers the safety of our citizens in general.

Chamber: Are you willing to support the Chamber's effort regarding the Meth scenario in East Lewis County?

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: We are in support of the Chamber's efforts to combat the Meth problem in East Lewis County and will consider talking to the Chamber in the near future as to what our role can be.

Chamber: What is one of the Advisory's Committee's main concern in this hour?

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: One of our main concerns in this hour is the fact that we do not have a recognizable amount of men involved on our committee and in the community in general.

Chamber: Please state to the Chamber, the Advisory's Committee view on School levies within East Lewis County.

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: Our view is that schools are very important to the stability and continued growth of the community. The point is, many senior citizens are on a fixed income and the thought of adding more taxes to their existing income would be scary.

Chamber: Is it a possibility the Committee is open to Forums that are set up to educate the mass about the importance of quality schools in the community.

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: Yes, the Committee is interested and also is eager to participate in it as well.

Chamber: Is the city of Morton moving in the direction you approve?

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: We feel the Morton City Council need more individuals possessing a wider range of perspectives in regards to development and projection of a community.

Chamber: Can you please elaborate?

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: We would like to see more aggressiveness in leadership with concrete goals and objectives.

Chamber: Are you open to diversity in East Lewis County?

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: Yes the Committee is open to diversity within East Lewis County.

Chamber: Are the doors open to the Chamber speaking to you again in the future?

Morton Senior Citizen Advisory Committee: Yes
