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.
