54 Years with

The Dietert Center

In August 1969 at the age of 73, Harry Dietert

purchased a small house on Jefferson Street in

Kerrville to set up a community activity center for

senior citizens.

Working with Kerrville State Hospital’s Volunteer

Services Council, Mr. Dietert organized

the Dietert Senior Citizen’s Center.

Their goal was to address the challenge of leisure

time and the desire of older citizens to involve

themselves in helping others.

Mr. Dietert envisioned the center as a place where

older adults in the Hill Country could “stake their

claim for the gold of their golden years” in an

atmosphere that promoted fellowship,

support and caring.

True to Harry Dietert’s original vision, we are

a volunteer-driven, community-based nonprofit

organization that helps men and women maintain

active, healthy and independent lives in their older

years.

Safety/Gun

*Buying Your First Handgun

Instructor: Larry Arnold

This class won't tell you what handgun you should

buy; it's about helping you make up your own mind,

based on your needs. It covers four secrets that nobody

remembers to tell new shooters. The interactive

classroom session will help you identify what type

of handguns are available, learn how to shop for a

handgun, and find training on how to fire it. In the

hands on session at the shooting range, you'll get to

shoot several different types of handguns and learn

how to handle them safely. Shooting and shopping,

how can you pass that up? During the two-hour range

session, students may bring their own handgun with

their own ammunition, which must pass inspection

before being fired. You are encouraged to bring your

own ear and eye protection.

*How to Grow Healthy Plants

Instructor: Mike McGinnis, Ph.D.

Plants can become members of a family just like pets.

Plants require attention, proper nutrients for good

health, and an environment that supports their needs.

Like humans and pets, plants can have health issues

caused by nutritional deficiencies, as well as infections

caused by insects, bacteria, and fungi. The purpose of

the presentation is to address the requirements

necessary for indoor and outdoor plants to be healthy

so that their beauty can be enjoyed.

*World of Beautiful Mushrooms and

Other Fungi

Instructor: Mike McGinnis, Ph.D.

The Hill Country is home to many different kinds of

mushrooms, toad stools and puff balls. Aesthetically,

they are among the most beautiful things that we often

encounter in woody areas following a rain. The

identification of these fungi is an art that is easily

learned. Great care must be exercised to distinguish

poisonous types of mushrooms from those that are not.

Some fungi have had a major influence on people and

our culture. Some examples include hallucinogenic

mushrooms, truffle hunting, the cause of the Great

Potato Famine, and the Salem Witch Trials. The

purpose of the presentation is to explain how these

fungi are identified and what their influence has been.
