Senior centers re-open safely
Ready to provide fun and companionship again
other by video over the internet.
As venues, businesses, restaurants
and churches begin to reopen for in-per-
son shopping, dining, activities and
worship, local senior centers, too, have
begun to slowly host in-person classes,
meals and activities for their clients

open back up. And we don’t anticipate
that well into the fall. I’ll keep my atten-

For the Keizerimes
Senior centers provide the com-
munity and the connection that many
retirees need to stay active, have fun
and make friends. Without these much
needed lifelines many retirees would live
in near total isolation. When the COVID-
19 pandemic hit these facilities, neces-
sary resources were nearly shuttered.
Instead these community centers,
like the rest of the world, became expert
Zoomers connecting their clients to each
