• Tours and Prizes: Guests will have the opportunity to tour the facility, including the newly opened exercise room, and meet the center's friendly staff. Additionally, door prizes will be given out throughout the event.

Participants will also be able to pick up a monthly activity calendar, helping them stay informed about upcoming events and social gatherings hosted by the senior center. Organizers encourage the community to attend, emphasizing that all services and activities showcased during the Open House are free of charge. Donations, however, are welcomed and appreciated.
