Frequently Asked Questions

a

Can anyone join the Senior Center and Fitness Programming?

As we receive grants and federal funding, our senior center programming is available to all seniors over the age of 60. There is no joining process or joining fee. Our center is open and people come on their own free will. We do, however, require you to register with us for statistical purposes only.
