It was a great turnout for the monthly Winnie-Stowell Senior Citizen Get Together Luncheon held on Thursday, June 11, 2026. The luncheon was hosted by Coastal Gateway Health Center and held at the Winnie-Stowell Community Building, with more than 50 people in attendance.
Attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch, fellowship, and a relaxing summer-themed coloring activity. Participants colored a variety of summer scenes, with winners receiving prizes for their artwork. The winning pictures will be framed and displayed at the new Coastal Gateway Health Center location.
A special addition to the monthly gathering is Connie Lee with the Juanita Hargraves Memorial Library in Winnie, who brings a selection of reading materials from the library for seniors to browse and check out.
These senior citizens look forward to the monthly get-togethers for the good food, fellowship, activities, and entertainment.
The next Senior Citizen Get Together will be held on Thursday, July 9, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Winnie Community Building, 335 S. Park Street in Winnie. Lunch and drinks will be provided, and EMS personnel will offer blood pressure checks.
