Manistee County Council on Aging
held a Senior Awareness Luncheon Day at the Manistee
Armory October 18th. Seniors were provided with
information regarding special services available to them
in our community. Onekama National Honors Society
students and the Onekama Soup Troop students were invited
to help serve the seniors. They served coffee &
milk& smiles and helped with clean up. The Soup troop
kids dressed in their clown garb handed out hugs and I
hugged a clown stickers to any ready takers. It was an
enjoyable experience for all.
