The Webster Parish Council on Aging (COA) hosted a Summer Celebration on June 21, featuring a musical performance by Marcie Baker of Plano, Texas, and Karen Guice, the outreach coordinator for COA. Seniors enjoyed a summer luncheon and door prizes during the event.
Baker, who holds positions on both the board for the Senior Ms. Texas America Pageant and the board of Spectacular Follies, has been involved with senior events for many years. She served as president of the Cameo Club for six years.
“Life has been so great since I turned 60, and I’m 70 now,” Baker said. “I love Minden. This is my third time coming. I just love the people here. They’re just so sweet and accommodating.”
The Council on Aging regularly organizes fun events for older adults and offers a variety of services aimed at improving the lives of seniors in Webster Parish. For more information, call COA at (318) 371-3056.
