Senior Center Activities Update
As many of you are aware, the Senior Center celebrated its 15th Anniversary
during the month of May. The month included a variety activities and events,
some of which are highlighted below:
~ Breakfast with the Mayor
~ History of Chanhassen presentation, lunch, and tour of the old St Hubert's
Church (the presentation by Ron Roeser is being edited and will be shown
on the local cable channel)
~ Container Gardening Class
~ Open House Reception featuring woodcarving demonstrations, concert by
the CHAN-o-Iaries, tour and explanation of activities, and lunch provided
from the congregate dinning program.
~ Minnesota Twins Game
~ Card Tournaments
~ Anniversary Dinner featuring a slide presentation that included pictures of
activities from the past 15 years. A commemorative photo calendar was
printed and provided to the attendees. The Chanhassen Lion Club and the
City of Chanhassen, especially the city support staff, provided financial
and technical support.
Numerous comments were received dlring the month, with the majority stating,
"What a great and inviting center we have." This was heard and echoed
throughout the entire month not only by our regular participants, but also by the
many new ones who attended events. None of this would have been possible
without the excellent support of the City staff. What a great team we have and
how appreciative all the seniors are for the City's commitment to the level of
programming and space made available to them.
Once again, the Chanhassen Lions Club hosted the annual Lake Ann picnic. The
weather, food and games were perfect and all 70 people had an enjoyable time.
Chaska unofficially opened the "Lodge" on June 1st. The Lodge serves AOA
(Active Older Adults) with a variety of activities and programs. I will monitor
how their new center may affect our activities and programs.
The Senior Center continues with its regular programming and activities, with
participation being good. I am always keeping an eye out for additional programs
and events to lure in the Baby Boomers. I will be working with the Friends of the
Library on an August and November event.
The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
