A Lyrical Connection . Christmas Dinner - ..for Senior Orphans was held Dec. 6 th -2009 ..all Seniors were served dinner, dessert & beverages by volunteers from the community ..a local school of dance provided entertainment "Senior Orphans of Polk County was founded over twenty-five years ago to assist those less fortunate. The idea came from attending an organizational meeting of service programs in Polk County. The original goal was to help local, indigent seniors living with no family support and monthly incomes of $400 or less. Today that amount has increased to include those with monthly incomes of $600 or less. Senior Orphans is 100% volunteer driven with no administrative costs." . . . from the website of Polk County Senior Orphans © All rights reserved
