Thank you for the warm welcome during my first months at the Northbrook Park District Senior Center. I have enjoyed getting to know the Senior Center members and programs.

Be sure to check out the details, some of which have changed. Also, take a look at our summer programs and events. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions to help improve our offerings.

Thanks!
