2020 – Ideas and Suggestions

Happy New Year Everyone!  I would like to thank everyone who participated in events, took classes and went on trips with the Rose City Senior Center in 2019.  With your participation, it was a fantastic year!  Now that 2020 is upon us, we look forward to continue offering affordable trips, great classes and interesting programs.  Hopefully this will offer something for everyone looking for a little “adventure”!

This year will bring some changes with upcoming trips.  I will be using a new bus company for future coach bus trips.  As always, I will try to keep costs down but switching to a new bus company will likely increase prices.  Please bear with me as I try to find the most affordable company to work with.

As I continue to plan for 2020, I would like your input!  If you have a suggestion for a trip or if you have been on a prior trip and would be interesting in repeating it, please let me know!  You can drop off your ideas at the Reception desk or in the comment box located outside of the Pool Room.

Thank you to everyone for your participation!    Hilary Sandberg, Program Administrator
