Many of the programs which were moved outside of the Senior Center to accommodate the parking lot construction will return in September. Although the majority of the parking lot improvements are completed, there will continue to be small interruptions as the light poles are delivered and installed.

Many of the Recreation Program Center (64 E Walnut) programs will return to that facility beginning in September, including the Sivertones chorus on September 12.

Fall hours will begin in September and run through November 17. We will not have evening hours the week of or after Thanksgiving. A hearty thank you to MediGold for sponsoring the coffee station at the Senior Center.

Be sure to check out the volunteer opportunities on page 9. It’s a great way to meet new friends and stay involved at the Senior Center. With so many fun special events on the fall horizon, there’s sure to be something for everyone.
