Get ready to celebrate with the Northern Wake Senior Center when it holds a grand opening on Friday, March 27, from 10 a.m. to noon. There will be speeches, refreshments and tours of the totally new center.
Town Manager Kip Padgett approved the donation of the last of the bicentennial history books, about 106 copies of “Connections . . . 100 Years of Wake Forest History,” to the senior center for a fund-raising activity, selling autographed copies of the book for $10 each. They were sold by the town for $20. You can buy the books after the speeches and ribbon-cutting. The proceeds will help the center and Resources for Seniors pay for teachers.
You are encouraged to take a class or join a group at the center. There are classes and groups for just about every interest and need, you can join friends at the coffee bar and relax in the new lobby.
The center is owned by the Town of Wake Forest with programming and staffing provided by Resources for Seniors. Most programs are free. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the phone is 919-554-4111; the website with full information, including the full calendar, about the senior center and Resources for Seniors is available on computers, smart phones and tablets at www.Resourcesforseniors.com and http://www.wakeforestnc.gov/northern-wake-senior-center.aspx.
