Happy Anniversary!

Some things change, some things don't.

Eight years ago the Senior Center was celebrating its opening.

The common room was filled for the Senior Center open house on Sunday, Nov 11, 2007

There is a Building Committee working on completing the interior 2nd floor and expanding the parking to accommodate the increased usage.

Eight years ago, the Center Commons was still getting the exterior brickwork completed.

brick work underway in Nov 2007 at what is now the entrance to The Cake Bar

A couple of months ago, Dean College completed the purchase of the building to add to their dormitory options.
