Longmont’s Senior Center is turning 50, and the city has scheduled a day of activities for Nov. 17 at 910 Longs Peak Avenue. The Nov. 5 announcement describes an open house with presentations, historical displays and afternoon celebrations.
A welcome lunch is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with Senior Services Manager Ronnie Maynes, prize drawings and contributions from museum and library staff. An ice cream social with cake and music is planned for 3 to 4:30 p.m., followed by an Innovation Center drone show in Roosevelt Park at 5 p.m.
The center opened Nov. 17, 1976, when Mayor Al Perenyi cut its ribbon. The city says the building expanded in 1980, 1987, 2001 and 2013 as its services and the population it serves grew. The anniversary program also includes screenings about the center’s Elder Exchange with Northern Arapaho participants from Wyoming.
