Senior Citizens Program

We are returning as many programs as we can due to space and instructor availability. Due to COVID testing at the center we ask that you use the north entrance of the Clyde L. Gracey Community Center. The parking lot on the south end of the center is closed due to COVID testing.

Thank you
