Happy Retirement Louise!!!!
We would like to extend our very best wishes to Louise Lemire (TVCCA Site Server) who has spent 2-3 days per week preparing and serving lunches to our members here at the Rose City Senior Center. Louise has been with us for the better part of 10 years and recently decided to retire and spend more time at home.
Louise and her husband Jean have been members of the center for over 10 years and have both contributed to making the center a better place.
On behalf of the staff and seniors of the Rose City Senior Center,
we wish you good health and much happiness!
CANCELLED ~ In-Person AARP Driver Safety Classes

If you were signed up for the in-person class scheduled for August or October at Rose City Senior Center, you should have received a phone call from Hilary to let you know the class was cancelled.
