Our MissionEnhancing and supporting
the lives of seniors.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH 6:00 PM Are you a human google search engine? Do people call you for answers to random questions? Test your knowledge with an evening of trivia (online or on the phone). Questions will be pulled from all different themes including international travel, movies, history, science, art, sports and more!
Teams should be made up of 3
to 4 people. Individual players will be put into a team. You will be automatically moved into and out of breakout rooms to discuss trivia questions with your teammates. Call Mackenzie to register.
Suggested contribution is $5 for seniors or $15 a team.
Culinary ClassesTHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Starting in February, we will be offering monthly cooking classes.
This month, dive into making Potato Leek and White Bean Soup with Joni Upshire!
Joni has lived in Jackson for over 30 years. She raised three children, has three wonderful grandchildren, built and operated Snake River Brewing for 15 years, was a High School Culinary teacher and most recently was the Volunteer Coordinator at St. John’s Health. For the last 6 years, Joni and a group of ladies
have been cooking a meal once a week for oncology patients who are having treatments at St. John’s Health. Joni knows her way around the kitchen and she loves to share these skills with others.
Suggested contribution for seniors is $15 and will include a bag with many of the ingredients.

Lynne MyersMeet Lynne Myers, one of our Meals on Wheels volunteers! Lynne has been delivering meals for a year and a half. We love Lynne for her cheerful personality and willingness to jump in and help out when needed!
She says her favorite part of volunteering is getting to talk to Jackson's old-timers. Some people she knows, and some she's just getting to know. Lynne has a knack for getting to know people, even when she's standing on their doorstep wearing a mask.
We asked Lynne what her tips are for delivering Meals on Wheels and she said, "wear your yak tracks, and just keep talking to them! Plan on at least saying
'How are you doing?' 'I miss you' or 'I hope
you enjoy your meal!'
Lynne has lived in Jackson for 48 years. She's always out and about, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and hiking. Recently, she also started volunteering with the call lines for Teton County Publich Health too!
Volunteer Spotlight
I am delighted at the response of Teton County seniors towards taking the COVID-19 vaccine. This gives me hope for our future. We are pleased to take part by having the Senior Center as a vaccination site. The Health Department and St. John’s Health started vaccines for people 80+ on January 21 and will begin vaccines for the 75+ age group after that. Then they will open up registration for the 70+ group. We do not yet know when vaccines will be available for the 65+ group.
We will try to keep you informed as this process rolls out, recognizing that there will be changes along the way. If you have questions or need transportation for your vaccine appointment, please give us a call. The best local source of information on vaccines is through the Teton County Health Department at www.tetoncountywy.gov/2061/COVID-19.
To register for a vaccine on-line, go to http://bit.ly/TCHDvaxregistry. Another way to register is to call (307) 732-8628, option 1. If you need help, we are more than happy to help you register and/or help you find answers for your questions.
While vaccines are being administered at the Senior Center, we be operating our curb-side lunch pick-up from 12:00-12:30. Please note that we will not be able to have people line up early for lunch, so please come during that time. If you need a late pick-up, please give us a call to make arrangements.
Best regards,Becky Zaist
From the Desk of the Executive Director
