Good News!

The Rose City Senior Center will be holding a “gradual reopening” beginning Tuesday, June 1.

We are excited about welcoming Senior Center Members back into the building but with some changes in place.  We will be opening slowly and with caution, with limited programs to start.

Individuals must register in advance to attend a class or to participate in an activity; or must have an appointment for a service provided at the Senior Center.

Class sizes will be limited and time limits will be in place for room use.  Please know that you must be pre-registered for a class, activity, room use or service if you are in the building.

Face masks are mandatory and social distancing is required in the Senior Center.  We ask that individuals self-screen prior to coming in.  If you have been exposed to COVID-19 within the last 14 days, have any COVID-like symptoms or you are running a temperature, please stay home and do not come into the building or use any of our transportation services.

The front entryway will be the only door open to enter the building and Senior Center Members must check-in when they arrive for their class, program or service.

If you renewed your Membership in 2020 and used any of our services in 2020, your Membership will not be transferred to 2021 and you will need to renew your Membership to remain a Member.

In addition, we are asking all Members to fill out a Membership Form to update their Membership information regardless of whether your Membership is carried over to 2021 or not.
