MAYORS MESSAGE I Mayor Lyle Holmgren

A HUMBLE THANK YOU


Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed this year on Monday, May 27th, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. 

It is a tradition to honor those who served in the military and sacrificed so much at a special Memorial Day program at the Tremonton Cemetery. This year’s program will be held on Monday, May 27th, beginning at 9:00 a.m. We will be honored to have Governor Spencer Cox address us.


Many stories exist of men and women from our community who served in World War II. I would like to share one of those stories that is close to home for me.  READ MORE.......

As these skills are developed, high paced games are utilized to promote each skill in a game environment.

SENIOR CENTER

Directors Message


The warm weather is here. Along with it comes the pretty flowers, the yummy vegetables and fruit and all the fun in the sun as well as the work. I encourage you to spend some time outside before it gets too hot. Smell the fresh cut grass, pull a few weeds, take a short walk and enjoy the beauty of the world. Take time to listen to the wind in the leaves, the birds in the trees, and the kids enjoying the sunshine! I know there is a lot of bad in the world right now and if you look you will find what you look for. Let’s spend our precious time searching out the good. We have made a few changes to the newsletter and added several new menu items and events to our calendar. We would love to hear your opinion on all of this. We would also love for you to give us suggestions of clubs to start, fieldtrips to go on and any other great ideas you have. We believe that this is your Senior Center and we want you to feel comfortable and valued.  

Every M/W/F: Mobility Exercises

Every 1st & 2nd Wednesday: Bingo

Every Tue/Thurs: Silver Sneakers

May 22th @ 9:00 am Do you like to Walk or Hike? We are starting a Club for you. Each month we will visit another trail and go for a nice walk/hike. This month we are going to check out the Holmgren Nature Trail right here in Tremonton. Then we will sit and visit about other trails the group would be interested in tackling. Spread the word, tell your friends and neighbors and let’s all get outdoors together!

With Mayor Holmgren Friday, May 24 @ 1:00 May 24 is National Scavenger Hunt day and also the Friday before Memorial Day. We figured why not have some fun at the Cemetery and the Mayor has kindly agreed to help us out. Come work together to figure out some clues and learn a little history while having fun.

If you are looking for a specific volunteer opportunity, we have a program where you are assigned to make phone calls. If you are good at chatting on the phone or would like to meet some new friends to visit with on a weekly basis, please consider reaching out. We have lots of ways for everyone to serve.
