A Message from Mike: Once again it is Membership Renewal time!
Yearly Membership runs from July 1st – June 30th
I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to make sure they do the following:
Obtain a SCAN CARD, if you don’t already have one. PLEASE USE IT. If you are unsure how to use it, see a staff member and we will gladly show you. The statistics are very vital to maintain what we offer by showing usage of our classes, programs and services.
NEW THIS YEAR
Following the structure of many other cities and towns, we are initiating a differential for in-town Membership compared to out-of-town Membership.
In-Town Membership will remain a suggested $25.00 per year
Out-of-Town Membership will increase to $40.00 per year
We will continue to have the same policy regarding preference for in-town Members first when there is limited registration or space in programs and trips.

Dear Seniors, Please stay hydrated and cool during these hot summer months! The Senior Center is a great place to do so during the strongest heat of the day to help keep you safe. There is help available for those in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to call the Center and get that help! I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the Senior Center’s 25th Anniversary with everyone and look forward to many more years of accomplishments! As always, I am here for any questions or concerns.
July Mini-Trip: Mini-trips are open to Rose City Senior Center Members only. Mini-trips may be subject to cancellation due to severe weather or unforeseen circumstances
