The cost of admission to high school sporting
events can really add up, especially if you are your
grandchildren’s biggest fans and want to be at every
game, match or meet. Consider obtaining a Senior
Tar Heel Card that may give you free or reduced
entry to these events. You will need to contact the
host school to ask if they are accepted, as
participation is optional for regular play; yet all
schools should accept them for playoff games. Any
adult age 60+ is eligible for a card and they do not
expire. Cards may be obtained at:
King Senior Center
Walnut Cove Senior Center
Stokes Senior Services in Danbury
If you have questions about your
Medicare/insurance coverage for 2025 or you
would like to make changes, contact Wendy
Bullins, SHIIP Coordinator, Senior Services at
336-593-8156.
We are continuing to explore ways to meet adults
where they are, including those who may be
homebound or just don’t want to leave the house
because of their health or weather. ZOOM Chats
have been a great source of fun during and just after
the pandemic at King Senior Center and we are
ready to open the option up to seniors across the
county. Our Center staff host these chats where we
swap stories, give updates about things here at the
center or in the community, and we laugh! We want
to be the connector to older adults no matter where
they live in the county because we know ho wmuch
you all have in common.
All you need is an email address, a smartphone,
tablet or computer with internet access, and to let us
know that you want to be included on the ZOOM
invite. We’ll send you a link each week and if you
want to join, you simply tap on the link. We are
also here to help you with technical issues. Because
this is a private link using our MySeniorCenter
technology, you can feel safe that we know who is
joining the chat. If you are traveling out of town or
maybe you just don’t want to get out in the rain or
cold, you can still join in. If there are other
programs like exercise classes or educational
presentations offered at King Senior Center that you
would like for us to offer virtual options, just let us
know by emailing Paula Hall at phall@ci.king.nc.us
or call her at 336-983-0751.
You may also consider viewing Walnut Cove Senior
Center’s weekly cooking class on their Facebook
page. Reba Dodson prepares great recipes at her
center and you can watch and message in real time.
We know that the best way to GET CENTERED is
through real, in-person contact, but there are
occasions that virtual options are needed. We want
to be that connection for you and others.
For other virtual options from across the
state, click on the link below to access
free exercise classes, educational
opportunities, games, and even line dance
classes being offered virtually. When you
open the website, look for the VIRTUAL
OPTIONS tab at the top to access an
abundance of daily activities you can
explore from home.
Did you know that your senior centers also help
older adults connect with the services they need
like transportation, housing, employment,
free/low cost tax preparation, free meals
available at nutrition sites and home-delivered
meals for those who are homebound. We help
people find resources for in-home aid support,
respite care, Medicare and insurance counseling,
and much, much more! Contact King Senior
Center or Walnut Cove Senior Center for
additional information and support!
