This senior center will be located on the second floor of the new YMCA facility and will have an
impressive view into the swimming pool. The center will be complete with a kitchen that will allow
the YMCA to serve hot meals to seniors 2-3 days a week. The center will be open to all individuals 60
years and older. A YMCA membership is not required to join the center and no fee will be charged.
The senior center will offer several programs including craft classes, fitness, education classes; bingo,
dances, lunches, holiday parties, music, socialization opportunities, senior trips and so much more:
