Senior Center, Cathy Loomans

The Senior Center is for 50 and older. In 2017, they had 68,000 visits. The trend for the Senior Centers is that members will come in for the program and not stay all day. The city funds the building and the manager. Friends fund all the other expenses by fund raising. A lot of the new programs are geared for senior wellness. In addition, they are a senior meal site. For $3.00, you can get lunch Monday thru Friday. The travel group is part of the Friends. They have a gift shop. They use every square inch of the building for their programs. The Senior Center just turned fifty years old. Join the Friends group today. It helps support the Senior Center and you will a monthly newsletter with all their activities.
