I was actively having meals daily at the Senior Center until an accident has grounded me. Today they had a fundraiser cookout and they went out of their way to deliver a most delicious meal to me. Thank you so much!

I use the Computers every once in awhile when I go there. I also use the Whiteside Public Transportation Buses to go places that's needed to go to. They also serve food in there Launch room, but it's not free. Only on special events. They also have other fun activities for anyone, including the Seniors.
