Senior Center Updates!
|
The new Senior Center is still on track for August completion with the goal to have our programs begin in September 2025. It's so good to say that we are less than a year away from moving into this new beautiful building. As you drive by you'll see that there is a structure and by the end of December or beginning of January you'll see the brick work begin. We are in for a treat. This is going to be the Senior Center you have all hoped for. Merry Christmas everyone!
Most Sincerely,
Tom Lathrop
