Find fun and friends at the senior center

By Liesl Greathouse

W

hether it be singing, dancing, exercising, playing games and sports, taking trips, watching movies, eating, spending time with friends or making new ones, the Montrose Pavilion Senior Center is the place to be for seniors.

September is National Senior Center Month. About 100 people attended the Montrose Senior Center’s first meeting on February 14, 1973. It was hosted as an open house at the Montrose Lions Clubhouse. The first meal was served in the courthouse and in 1974, there were 110 meals served at noon five days a week for 50 cents a meal or whatever a senior could afford. Many citizens worked with the city and county to open up a senior center in Montrose.

Lavon (Blondie) Campbell, 87, and Gayle Clarke-Watford, over 80, have volunteered at the senior center for years. “[The senior center] gives seniors an opportunity to have a good balanced meal, social contact, exercise and access to videos, books and puzzles,” Campbell said.

The Montrose Recreation District works with the senior center by providing an activity coordinator to plan events and outings. In addition to on-site activities, such as computer classes, arts and crafts, dances and exercise, participants also go on hikes and day trips.

“A lot of people think that a senior center is where old people go when they have nothing to do,” ClarkeWatford said. “But it is actually a very social place.”

The 10,000 square-foot senior center is a good resource for seniors looking for friendship and nutritious meals. The senior center serves about 100 meals per day, five days a week, at a cost of $4 to seniors age 60 and older and $6.75 for guests under 60. Anyone interested in receiving meals can contact the senior center.

Volunteers are an integral part of the senior center. They raise funds for projects and equipment, answer questions and encourage participation. Campbell said those wishing to volunteer can just step up and offer their services.

“We need 13 or 14 volunteers for the luncheon every day,” ClarkeWatford said. “They set up the dining room, work the front desk and help serve food. Without volunteers, we would have folded up a long time ago.”

For Campbell and Clarke-Watford, the people are the most interesting thing about helping at the senior center.

“Seniors have lived interesting lives, are educated and have had wonderful experiences,” ClarkeWatford said. “We get to talk with them, visit with them and learn from them.”

Campbell said that many seniors who go to the senior center are widows or widowers with no family.

“This gives them the opportunity to be with other people,” she said.

“We get to share with them, work to make their day better, answer questions and give them the personal contact they need. Seniors can come in, introduce themselves and express their wishes. We work to match their wishes with an activity. We walk with them.”

The senior center is located at 1800 Pavilion Drive and is open 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Seniors in need of rides to the Montrose Pavilion can contact All Points Transit at 249-0128 or the Montrose City Bus at 240-1951.

For more information about the senior center, call 249-7015. For more information about activities, call Montrose Recreation District Activities Coordinator Cindy Marino at 252-4884.

Drop by their booth from 9 a.m.2 p.m. at BeaconFest on Thursday, September 19 at the Montrose Pavilion! ■

Seniors enjoy a trip to Hanging Lake.
