May is ‘Membership Month’ at the Chelsea Senior Center (CSC), and area residents and business/community leaders are invited to attend special open houses in May to become familiar
with the center’s programs and facilities.
On Thursday, May 22, the center will host a breakfast open house, featuring a tour and refreshments, for business and community leaders from 8-9 a.m.
A second open house on Thursday, May 29, will welcome area residents, including prospective members and their families, for a tour and lunch from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
To register for either of the May Open Houses, or for more information, call 475-9242.
“Our doors are always open to visitors, prospective members and their families,” said Trinh Pifer, executive director, “but these two open houses will provide special opportunities for these groups to see the facilities, meet some of our members, talk with staff and network with other participants.”
