Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month with a pot5-luck carry-in dinner, followed with a program, a door prize and Bingo.
Elmer senior citizen activities have included: making cancer dressings; lap robes for the needy; taking trips on chartered buses; attending all-county picnic meetings held in “Floral Hall” in Macon; assisting with musical programs presented by Cecil Ford in Atlanta, Missouri; and visiting with and entertaining other clubs.
