FROM THE DESK OF MARY JO RILEY

Oh wow, its January! We all can’t believe it has been almost a year since we have seen many of you. Staff has been actively planning and sometimes re-planning programs to keep you all active and engaged while social distancing and staying safe. We have become the gurus of the virtual world. One project that has begun is a look at rebranding and possibly renaming the senior center. This is not just done lightly. We have researched users and nonusers of the senior center about why they do or don’t utilize our programs and services. Surprisingly, many nonusers don’t really know what the center has to offer or even that they are eligible to come. Due to so many misconceptions about what our senior center is or what we offer, the rebranding goal is to bring more people to the center and encourage using the programs and services. As this project progresses and as we hope the Covid 19 vaccines roll out more, we look forward to seeing you all back at the center in 2021.
