[November 15, 2007]
As CIEDC continues its efforts to bring social
meal options to seniors, it has announced a partnership with the
Korner Cafe restaurant, 151 N. Macon St. in Latham.
|
 Seniors aged 60 or better have a new option for dining out. As part
of its congregate meal program, CIEDC has worked with Korner Cafe's
Michelle Gehrken to give seniors the option of enjoying the daily
special on Wednesdays from 1 to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m. When they dine, registered program participants will
present a meal card to the staff at Korner Cafe. These seniors can
eat one meal a day at the restaurant for a suggested donation of $3,
which can be collected on-site."It's so important that seniors
take the time to be social and enjoy a nice meal out with friends,"
said Angie Jenkins, CIEDC senior programs director. "The Korner Cafe
in Latham is a great option for Logan County seniors. We appreciate
their willingness to participate in such a wonderful program."

Registration will be limited in order to gauge interest and
ensure smooth coordination of the program. A waiting list will be
taken. To register, seniors can attend a sign-up day at the Korner
Cafe on Nov. 28, from 1 to 4 p.m. Meal service will begin that day.
CIEDC staff will be at the Korner Cafe to distribute participation
cards and answer questions about the program.
Program participants can attend a variety of congregate sites
throughout Logan and Mason counties by showing their participant
card. CIEDC can also provide rides to the congregate sites through
its transportation program for seniors. For information about meals
or rides, interested seniors can call 217-732-2159, ext. 240.
CIEDC is a Community Action agency serving six central Illinois
counties. For more information, visit

programs for senior nutrition and transportation receive local
support and are also funded primarily through the Area Agency on
Aging for Lincolnland.
