CGC classes offered Oregon City seniors enjoy centei By Cindy Ralston Staff Writer For persons 55 years of age and older or retired because of disability, the Oregon City Senior Center has much to offer. The senior center is a department of the city of Oregon City that attempts to provide a meeting place for older people. "It is a social contact center," said Lynn Todd, director of the Oregon City Senior Center. The center offers dancing, potlucks. Loaves & Fishes meals and various classes scheduled through Clackamas Community College such as physical exercise, macramé, bridge and pinochle. One day trips are also offered through the center and, like most of the activities, the trips are free. Some of the trips offered are trips to the county, and state fairs, and Silver Creek Falls. Todd encourages more male involvement and several activities specifically for men are scheduled. Some activities include trips to Blazer and Timber games, boxing and wrestling matches and possibly hockey games. Half price rates are usually given to participants from the center and often tickets are given free. The Oregon City Senior Center not only offers activities, but transportation to doc tors, dentists and grocery stores for those in need. Services are also provided for seniors who need tax return assistance, have prob lems with agencies such as Medi-Care or need in-home assistance. "The center is the hub of all senior activities in this area," said Todd. A chess club and a retired teacher group meet regularly at the senior center and many seniors go to the paperback book library where they can trade paperbacks or read a good magazine. Todd said no membership is involved with the center and any interested person may drop in and join the activities. The Oregon City Senior Center is lo cated on 706 Jefferson in the basement of the Pulp and Paperworkers Union Hall. Any person interested in activities at the senior center may call 655-8335 and leave their name, address and phone number to be added to the mailing list.
