SIDNEY — During their May meeting, members of the board of trustees of the Sidney-Shelby County Senior Center discussed changing the hours that the Senior Center is open to members.

A three-month trial of hours running from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., daily, was considered. It was noted that an exercise trainer would be available during more hours than is currently possible.

Also discussed was a request by the Texas hold ‘em card group to change the day and the location of their card-playing.
