“We can say with some pride that this is one of the very best senior centers in the country. Come in and look around. I guarantee you’ll be so knocked out, not just by the beauty of the building, but even more by the energy, enthusiasm, talent and friendship that is so evidently on display by our members. It’s priceless.”
