Recently, Springfield’s Elks Lodge 1560 presented the Springfield Senior Center on Main Street with an Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant worth $1500 for the sole purpose of outfitting the senior center with new lounge furniture. Senior Center director Lori Johnson shopped locally at Young’s Furniture and came up with her purchase shown in the picture below. This was a total win win situation for the town Springfield. Springfield Elks got the grant, Springfield Seniors got the comfortable furniture and Young’s Furniture of Springfield got the sale. This new furniture replaces the old couch that had been there for 30 to 40 years.
Shown are the “Knit Wits Group” of the ladies knitting circle at the senior center. They are L to r; Sharon Burt, Cheryl Baker, Ruth Wilson, Linda Mattoon and Shirley Cooper.
