Message from the Senior Coordinator

Don't forget that you need to renew your Senior ID for this year. The card is valid from Sept. 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. Any senior who is new to the program will need to go to the Admissions Office and Welcome Center to get their ID picture. Others who are renewing their cards and want to include Leisure Activities and/or Wellness Activities on their card must also go to the Admission and Welcome Center. Those of you who just want a plain membership card to renew at the Senior Office with a credit card will not need to go to the Admissions Office. If you plan to pay for your membership or classes by cash or by check, you will need to go to the Admissions Office. JSC members will also need to renew their memberships.

Let's enjoy a great year!
