Happier Birthdays Happen Here!
Senior Programs
Posted on September 22, 2026
September is National Senior Center Month, and this year’s theme, “Happier Birthdays Happen Here!”, is a reminder that growing older is about more than adding candles to a cake. It’s about building connections, finding purpose, staying healthy, and having opportunities to enjoy every year along the way. Our Senior Center is proud to celebrate the people and experiences that make our community stronger.Senior centers are more than places to gather. They are community hubs where older adults can make new friends, discover new interests, access helpful resources, and participate in activities that support health and well-being. As the National Council on Aging notes, senior centers help people live not only longer, but better, through connection, support, creativity, wellness, and community.This September, we invite you to celebrate with us!
