DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Senior Center announces its November calendar of scheduled events. Included in November is an informative class (Medicare 101) addressing the 2026 Medicare changes and a couple of events that will help everyone through the holidays.
Join the “Jingle and Mingle” holiday cooking demo with nutrition tips led by Karen Droesch from Wayne Healthcare. Learn to make healthy snacks, appetizers, and meals for your family and guests. Karen is a Licensed Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. The free class will be held on Friday, November 7th, from 1–3 p.m., with healthy snacks provided.
Medicare 101 will be offered twice on Wednesday, November 12th. The first session will take place at the Darke County Birchwood Center, located at 5844 Jaysville-St. Johns Road, beginning at 3:30 pm. The second session will be held in the Wayne HealthCare Community Rooms (Harrison Entrance), Greenville, at 6:00 pm, with a complimentary meal served at 5:30 pm prior to the class. Individuals interested in attending the meal are requested to RSVP by November 11th by calling (937) 569-6504.
Both classes are provided at no cost through a partnership between the Darke County Senior Center and Wayne HealthCare. Becky Hayward from the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIP) will present information on 2026 Medicare changes, eligibility, enrollment procedures, updates to Part A and B, prescription coverage under Part D, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare supplements, and available financial assistance programs.
The DC Senior Center holds an Alzheimer’s Support Group from 5–6 pm every third Wednesday. Anyone affected by Alzheimer’s or Dementia, including patients, caregivers, friends, and family, is welcome. A support system is vital for those coping with these conditions.
Just in time for your holiday decorating, the center is offering a complimentary wreath-making event which will take place on Thursday, November 20th, from 1 – 3 pm. Instructor Barb Roth will lead participants in creating an 18” artificial evergreen wreath. To ensure adequate materials are available, please RSVP by November 13th by calling or texting Wally at (508) 789-3884 or Mary at (937) 423-2565.
