  1. A big shout out goes to all the staff and volunteers at our Ballinger Senior Center that prepared their delicious cheeseburgers. Built in 1989 for the golf course, we sometimes take our Senior Center for granted. Not only providing services catering to seniors, the Senior Center is an excellent facility for a wedding, anniversary or celebration.
