Many come for lunch at the Senior Center cafe before play starts each day. Activity Director Theresa Bartholomew does a great job of finding a room for each and every activity going on at the center, including exercise and wellness. Larry Quam volunteers Wednesdays at the receptionist desk, and Pam Solberg fills that chair on Tuesdays. It is a known fact that the Senior Center would not operate without the volunteers, so it doesn’t hurt to give them a pat on the back occasionally and tell them thank you.
