The monthly Young at Heart luncheon for seniors was held on Feb. 7 at the First United Methodist Church.

 

Erin Boyt, Community and Provider Liaison for Natchitoches Regional Medical Center, briefed the group on the many NRMC services that are currently available to the community. Services discussed included the Wound Care Center, the Cancer Center, Senior Care, the Pain Institute, Urology Associates, and the Alzheimer’s Support Group.  Erin also reminded everyone that February is Heart Health Month and spoke about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

 

The church’s Koinonia Circle provided Mardi Gras table decorations.  February birthdays were celebrated by Cecilia Possoit, Bennie Rhodes, and Carol Ann Otto.

 

Harvey Polk served as Master of Ceremonies, and Brother Doyle Bailey offered a prayer before the meal.

 

Young at Heart meets the first Wednesday of each month at 11 AM in Bostick Hall at the church.  The meeting is non-denominational, and all seniors are welcome.  Those attending are asked to pay a $5 fee or to bring a covered dish to share.  The next meeting is scheduled for March 6.
