The Ed Brown Senior Center sponsors everything older residents could possibly want in a community center. Writing seminars, games, socials, virtual driving lessons, health screenings and a wide range of classes and entertainment are all available free to members paying a small annual fee.
Operating entirely without tax support for operating expenses, the Ed Brown Senior Center sometimes finds it a challenge to meet their budgetary needs. “We usually don’t have any extra dollars for upgrading old equipment or buying new.” said Program Director Kathy Weyer. She added “We are planning on using this $1,000 donation both to improve our efficiency and provide additional services for our membership.”
“We’re delighted to be able to help the Ed Brown Center meet such a critical need” said the club’s past-president Nasrin Barbee upon presenting the donation. She noted “Rotary International always tries to be present when there’s a significant need anywhere in the world.”
