Program Fees

The Senior Center has been tasked with structuring its fee schedule so that the program fees collected for a

specific program will cover that program’s cost. This new policy will take place starting FY20/21 (July 2020). In preparation of that goal, each program will be reviewed regarding revenues and costs.  Additionally, area

senior centers will be polled regarding their fees. This change may affect session fees – it may affect session length – it may affect whether the Senior Center can continue to offer passes good for one year – it will likely make the Senior Center increase its  fundraising efforts.  We would like to hear any ideas that you have. Over the summer months as we gather data, we would like to hear your suggestions and/or concerns.

Please stop by the office at any time.

Credit Card Payments

The Senior Center has been accepting credit card  payment for trips and programs for over a year. There has been no extra charge added for credit card use. That will be changing. Once our data has been collected, a new policy will go into effect. There will be some sort of convenience fee added for credit card payments.

More info to follow.
