Hillsdale County Senior Services Center will hold a women’s breakfast at 9 a.m. on Feb. 21 at  385 W. Bacon St. 

The breakfast will feature Greg Moore from Consumers Energy who will speak on how to lower energy costs in the state of Michigan. 

Health and Wellness Coordinator and Hillsdale College alumnus Shane Spahr ’92, said the speaker will help provide the public with a deeper understanding of how Michigan gets its energy. 

“I thought it would be nice for our seniors to understand from a legislative standpoint where our governor has pointed Michigan to purchase their energy,” Spahr said. “And then he will also look into different cost savings possibilities and what we are expecting for the future of our energies.” 

Spahr said the breakfast is part of the lifelong learning activities program at the center which seeks to engage seniors through interactive events. Women’s breakfasts are held monthly with breaks during December and summer and feature different speakers on a variety of topics from the surrounding area. 

“We’ve had a number of local speakers and local leaders come in and talk about a variety of things like Medicare, Medicaid, open enrollment, and insurance agencies.” Spahr said. “Anything that falls under lifelong learning I make sure is engaging, educational, and impactful.”

Executive Director Maggi Monroe said that the breakfasts are usually well-attended and are a good time of fellowship. 

“I think that they do enjoy the breakfasts on top of having different community members come in and speak to them.” Monroe said. “It also provides an opportunity for socialization.”

Spahr said the event is not exclusive to seniors and is open for anyone woman to come. The breakfast is free to attend, but donations are encouraged.
