At noon Tuesday, August 13 the friends, family and colleagues of Art Welsh will gather at Courtyard Estates to celebrate his 34 years of service on the board of the Mid-Illinois Senior Service Center.
Welsh’s daughter, Sheila Greuel, founded the Senior Center and when she married, asked her dad to serve on the board. As she said, “I never intended it to be a life sentence for him, but I am pleased that it is still thriving and serving seniors after 34 years,”
Greuel’s first job out of college was working for Retha Horner at Peace Meals which, at that time, were served at the Masonic Temple. She saw a need for a place where seniors could meet for activities other than a meal and share fellowship with their peers.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
