While we greatly appreciate your generosity, �

kindness, & hard work, �

the Center is �

UNABLE TO ACCEPT DONATIONS �

due to the viability of the COVID�19 virus. �

We are sorry we can’t accept your dona�ons at this �me. �

Please do not bring items to the Senior Center. �

Thank you for helping us protect each other.�

TBND* “The Building Next Door” — Formerly Chemical Bank

THE CENTER IS CLOSED�

to group programming, activities,�

and meetings until further notice. �

See page 2 for more details. �

PLANS FOR REOPENING THE CENTER�

The Center is in frequent contact with the Berrien County

Health Department, County and State Officials to take

appropriate precau�ons and implement strategic phases in

reopening. Decisions will be made about future closures based

on informa�on from BCHD and the State of Michigan if staff,

volunteers, or a member becomes ill. While we miss all of you

tremendously, we don’t want to take 1 step forward and 3

backwards! Things will be different moving forward un�l there

is a vaccine or cure. Please be pa�ent.�

�

At the �me of this prin�ng, the Center’s phase 1 of reopening

began June 15. During Phase 1, we can offer only basic,

essen�al services. There will be no IN�PERSON programming,

groups, or ac�vi�es. Please only come to the Center if you

have an appointment or for a specific service. While you are

here, prac�ce social distancing and wear a mask. Thank you for

your faithfulness, perseverance, grace, and understanding as

we learn, lead, and navigate through this new landscape. �

�

To maintain social distancing we will have to be crea�ve. Taxes

may require a temperature taken at the door and you wai�ng

while they are being prepared in another room. To ensure

each area is cleaned and ready for the next day we are

currently unable to host groups. Many programs are cancelled

due to the number of par�cipants and the inability to social

distance properly during the ac�vity. �

�

We have received calls about “booking rooms and dates this

summer” which we cannot accommodate. We don’t have a

date when program groups or outside groups will be able to

resume mee�ng. While this may be frustra�ng, we have to

remain diligent in minimizing the traffic flow inside the Center

during phase 1. Providing essen�al services is our top priority.

If your group is mee�ng remotely and you would like to share

that informa�on, please contact the Center at 683�9380. �

�

What we CAN offer during Phase 1:�

�� Blood Drive, Wednesday, August 5 from 10�4:00�

�� Medical equipment from our loan closet � call to arrange�

Income Taxes for Niles & Buchanan Senior Centers �

We had hoped to prepare taxes at Niles Senior Center at

TBND*�(formerly Chemical bank). The AARP tax aide

program is a na�onwide, volunteer program. They assess

data reported for COVID19 on a con�nuous basis in

gran�ng permission which sites are allowed to open up

and which sites must remain closed. This IS NOT A

SENIOR CENTER decision. The Senior Centers’ are only

the “hosts” to this wonderful service provided year a4er

year. These are unsure �mes that affect a lot of people

and we understand many are frustrated. Please seek an

alterna�ve for your income taxes. (Paid preparers)

Unfortunately, we have no guarantee or assurance our

site will be one of the Michigan sites granted permission

to open.�

�

Drumming with Liz! � Starts August 4th�

Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. �

fun and crea ve. Please wear a mask/face covering

upon arrival. Masks will NOT be required during the

bring your own. To ensure social distancing, each

PAMPER YOUR FEET�

*** Please wear a mask/face covering ***�

Do you have trouble reaching your feet to clip your

toenails? Are you able to reach your toenails but can’t see

well enough to cut them carefully? If you can see yourself

in either of these scenarios, I can help!�

�

My name is Jane Sherwin and I’m a registered nurse who

is available to clip your toenails. I go to five area senior

centers each month and cut nails for most anyone in

need.* I work through Lakeland Health Services and am

happy to provide this service for you if you can no longer

perform it for yourself.�

�

The cost of your first visit is $30. At this visit you receive

a basin for soaking your feet, a toenail clipper, an emery

board and a manicure s�ck. These items are yours to

keep and you will bring them with you each �me you

come for a nail clipping. Each subsequent visit is $25.�

�

If you are interested, call the senior center for an

appointment. The only other thing you need to bring is

a towel (for drying you feet a4er soaking). Did I

men�on that a4er I clip your nails you get a free foot

massage as part of the package? Some pa�ents say this

is the BEST part of the appointment!�

VOTE YES FOR RENEWAL OF

SENIOR CENTERS PROPOSAL

On August 4

th

voters in Berrien County

will be vo�ng to con�nue the millage

that supports our Senior Centers for

another 4 years. The seven Senior Centers in Berrien

County are largely funded by this millage, which is based

on your property tax value�

�

A “YES” vote will support our Senior Centers so we can

con�nue to provide you with services like

transporta�on, cards and games, social events,

commodi�es, loan closet, Medicare & Medicaid

assistance, health and wellness classes, daily lunches,

educa�onal programs, and so much more. �

�

During the past few months, the Senior Centers have

had to limit direct services due to the COVID19 virus.

However, most are planning to reopen safely over the

next few months to get back to services we have been

providing over the years! We hope that you will be able

to come enjoy the ac�vi�es and events at each Senior

Center very soon. �

�

How much does this cost? First, this is a con�nua�on of

the same amount that Berrien County Property

Taxpayers have been paying. That is $.30 cents per each

$1,000 of the Taxable Value of the property or.3 mills.

For example, if your home has a property assessment of

$100,000, your contribu�on for the seven Senior

Centers is approximately $30 a year. Each Senior

Center receives 1/7 of the total amount collected by the

County.�

�

Please vote�whether in person or by Absentee ballot.

An Applica�on for Absentee Ballot will be mailed to you

by the clerk for the city or township where you are

registered to vote. Or, you can complete the applica�on

online on the website of the municipality you live in. �

�

When you receive the official ballot�either by mail or

at the polls, PLEASE mark YES for the millage to support

the Senior Centers. And PLEASE pass along this message

to your friends and rela�ves! �

Please vote “YES” Tuesday, August 4

Opera6on COVID Cheer�

Opera�on COVID Cheer was born

out of a desire to get in touch with

isolated senior ci�zens who receive

services from places like the

Center. The public is invited to send

cards, leOers and artwork so staff

can distribute to seniors during this difficult �me of

physical distancing. �

Please send cards, artwork, and le9ers to: �

Niles Senior Center �

AOn: Jennifer Krueger �

1109 Bell Rd.�

Niles, MI 49120�

�

This is a much needed, simple way to spread cheer to

area seniors who may be having a hard �me. Staff will

distribute random pieces of artwork, cards, & leOers

throughout the summer. �

�

Thanks to those who have already sent cards for our

area seniors! �
