Free Tax Assistance

Free tax assistance will be available for persons 55 and older in Cleveland County at The Council on Aging/Neal Center, 100 T.R. Harris Drive.  Trained volunteers will be available to assist in preparing Income Tax Returns.  There is no charge for this service.  The counselors will be at the Senior Center on Tuesdays from Feb.-April, 2006.  Appointments are required and can be made by calling 704-482-3488.

New Activity

Ask people what their favorite style of music is and they will almost invariably answer, "I listen to all kinds."  Evidently variety can be the spice of life when it relates to the type if music we enjoy.  We tend to have preconceived ideas as to what music the senior population likes and dislikes.  However, we often are incorrect, since musical tastes can change markedly over time, and older adults can be more musically open-minded than we assume.

            A new activity is in the works at the Neal Senior Center.  Everybody loves music.  This activity will give participants a chance to have fun with another kind of exercise for your insides.  All it requires is that you enjoy singing.  Shirley Wright has volunteered to coordinate this activity and would like to invite anyone who is interested to give her a call at 704-438-7243.

 TRANSPORTATION

The Senior Center is happy to be able to offer Transportation for Shopping and Medical Shuttles on a weekly basis.  Unfortunately, due to the high cost of gas, we will have to increase our fee.  Effective Sept. 1, 2005 All Round Trip's will be $3.00.  Please try to have the exact amount; our drivers do not carry any money with them.

Shopping is every Thursday.9:00-12:00

(Wal-mart)

Medical Shuttles are available every Tuesday

(1:30-4:00)

We recommend that you make your appointment for medical shuttles a week in advance whenever possible.  If your medical appointment must be made for another day, other than a Tuesday, please call the Senior Center to see what is available, we will be glad to try to make other arrangements if possible.  Call the Senior Center at 704-482-3488 between 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday to schedule your transportation.  Ask for the Services Department.
