CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

There are numerous challenges that face the center from year to year. Getting enough funds to continue the work that needs to be done for the seniors remains a challenge. Space is also a consideration. No major improvements have been made in a long time. New computers, telephones, security system, equipment, staff, and activities money are sorely needed. When sponsors are not able to support our various activities, new ways must be found. The center adds to our available monies by having yearly fundraising events such as our Mule Days White Bean & Ham dinners, a yard sale, senior trips four times a year, and a spaghetti lunch.
