Marble Falls Senior Activity Center serves up chili at annual fundraiser
SPECIAL TO THE PICAYUNE
MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls Senior Activity Center served 400 chili meals during its annual fundraiser Feb. 6.
Lucille Holden, who coordinated the event, said that as of 2 p.m. that day, 156 folks had already been served in the dining room at the center with another 161 grabbing takeout meals. In addition, 222 slices of pie had been sold during lunch hours. Holden said the center expected more at dinner time. The money will help pay a higher-than-expected electric bill for the center.
“I’m thrilled, really happy that we’ve had such a great turnout,” Holden said. “These funds will help pay our light bill and for the electrical and plumbing work we need to have done here at the center.”
The Marble Falls Senior Activity Center recently celebrated paying off the mortgage that financed the building’s new addition.
