The building was home to the National Guard Armory until 1976 when plans to have a civic center in the community got under way as a special project between the mayor and city council.

Anyone 60 or older can join.

I know the seniors are in great hands with Leta and Angela. Leta has worked with the seniors since 1997 and Angela was hired in June 2004. They both love what they do and are a tremendous asset to the program.

The best advertisement for us is people telling people. If organizers have a successful event and they tell their friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. about us, then we are able to increase the use of the facility.

In the last few years we have more than doubled the events that take place at the center. We average between 20 to 25 functions per month.

It's hard for any team when you lose world-class players, but you saw today that we have some young players who are almost as good.
