Did you know that as a member of Whitefish Community Center you can participate in the “Care Call Reassurance” program for free? This is a once-daily call that comes to your land line or your cell phone to check on your well-being. You respond to the call by answering the phone and pressing a requested number. If you fail to respond, a neighbor or family member that you have chosen will be contacted. It can be arranged to fit your daily schedule - you choose the time of day to receive the call - and it can be turned off or on at your request. We handle the application and management at Whitefish Community Center. This service is not a pendant you wear around your neck. It does not contact po
John Noyes has extended a very generous gift to Whitefish Community Center. It is a brand new ping pong table with paddles and balls. We took delivery of the table on January 17, and it took a couple of days to get it uncrated and set up. If you haven’t seen it yet, please come by. Open play will be available whenever we do not have classes scheduled in our activity room. If you are unsure about time and scheduling, just give us a call at 862-4923. The Center is open weekdays (except holidays) from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The tennis table comes to us on one stipulation: that it be used. It is not to be tucked away in a closet or back corner. You don’t need to be a skilled player to join in. If y

Collect your friends and join us at the Whitefish Community Center for Wii Bowling. For now, we will meet at 1:00 pm on Thursday, January 4, and Thursday January 18. This will give us a chance to find out who is interested and what day of the week is best. Beginners are welcome. So are experienced “bowlers,” who may share tips and tricks. We will dedicate January to rounding up players and getting in some practice. As we move into spring, we will discuss teams and competition. Or not. This is all for FUN. But you will never know how much fun this can be if you don’t come check it out. There is no need for bowling shoes or a bowling ball. It doesn’t get much easier than that. And the Wii mach

This class, taught by Celia Chambers, has been met with more interest than we had anticipated. Enrollment was full even before the date was set. This is our instructor’s first class experience, and she wants to limit it to six people. (The tamale process is not for anyone who likes quick and easy.) Once we have the first class on February 21 under our belt, we will know if we can offer a class with more students. If you have an interest, call 862-4923 and have your name added to the list. This is not a commitment on your part. It just gives you priority if space is limited on our next offering. Time required is 2 to 3 hours and the cost is $10.00 per person.
