Have you heard about the Senior Card program? It has been in existence for many years, quietly engaging and providing outreach to seniors in our community by sending cards to seniors for celebrations, sorrows, or just to let someone know that people are thinking about them. We hope to brighten the recipient's day and bring a smile to their face by receiving a card.

We would love to hear from you. Send requests to Olderadults@lafayetteco.gov

The more time Americans spend socially with family and friends, the more likely they are to report enjoyment and happiness in their lives without a lot of stress and worry. Overall, Americans’ self-reported mood improves with each hour of social time they spend in a day, up to about seven hours. Let’s boost each other’s moods and spend some time together! We will have coffee and light snacks – join us at the Senior Center, where we hope to grow connections and get to know each other better. Meets the first Friday monthly.

Puzzles are now available for check out at the Senior Center.
