Ken Spencer, president of the Webb City Senior Citizens Center Advisor Board, and Dan Ryan deliver the meals on Tuesday.

The number of people coming to the Webb City Senior Citizens Center continues to grow. There were 45 enjoying the Taco Tuesday lunch, which included an unusual number of sides and desserts contributed by “Table 7.”

The center will be open, and meals will be served on Memorial Day. Since only the number of meals needed are prepared by Webb City Cafe, it’s necessary to call in your reservation at (417) 673-6294 by 9:30 a.m. on the days you want to eat. $5 is the suggested donation for each meal.
