We wish we had a senior center and hope to one day offer a dedicated space for our older generations. In the meantime, there are a variety of ways for seniors to stay connected and supported in our community, including local resources such as Scribner Drugstore…
Morning Coffee
Several seniors in the community meet at Mel’s Bar every morning for coffee and rolls. Seniors also enjoy meeting for coffee, breakfast and lunch at Elkhorn River Coffee Company or The Nook for coffee, breakfast and lunch on certain days. The Nook also offers an array of craft classes and has card clubs that meet up during the week.
Walking at Mohr Auditorium
Walking is available at the Mohr Auditorium each Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9-10:30am.
Additional information can also be obtained by contacting the walking group managers:
- Doris Wobken at 402-567-2363
- Laura Sweet at 602-206-5622
Pickleball
Due to lack of interest over the years, pickleball has disbanded, BUT if you know some people who would like to play, give Doris or Laura a call. The equipment is still available. Also, though tailored to seniors, we have a variety of younger folks who are invited to both walk and play pickleball with our seniors.
Enhancing Rural Ministries for Aging Adults’ (ERMAA) mission is to encourage smaller, rural communities to unit and focus on healthy aging.
As part of promoting health of mind, body and spirit, ERMAA has chosen to set a goal of educating the public about Pickleball.
The popular game is a cross between badminton, ping pong and tennis.
Pickleball is played on a smaller court, either indoors or out. The whiffle ball and graphite paddles make it easily played by persons from 8 to 108. The level of competition is entirely up to the participants.
Pickleball sets are available at the walking site in Scribner at Mohr Auditorium. These can be used by the public during regularly scheduled walking times.
Pharmacy
Scribner Drugstore offers free delivery, can help review your medication plan and packages prescriptions by time and day so you don’t have to deal with filling pesky pill organizers.
