Saint Clair Senior Center reports membership growth and heavy program demand
Summary
The Saint Clair Senior Center reported rising membership and program participation, with staff saying the center recorded about 107,000 sign-ins over the past year and more than 2,500 members, including 112 new sign-ups since July.
Mark Owens, manager of the Saint Clair Senior Center, told the commission the center has expanded significantly and now publishes a 12-page program booklet to list trips, activities and classes.
Owens reported what he characterized as strong usage: “We had a total number of a 107,000 sign ins,” and membership increased to over 2,500 from roughly 2,400 over the past year; staff also said they had already enrolled about 112 new members since July. He described a packed trip sign-up day and emphasized the center’s variety of services, including a computer lab and regular socialization opportunities.
Commissioners praised the center’s customer service and inclusive program mix, noting the facility has become a social hub for many older residents. Staff credited volunteers and the program team for growth and said seniors frequently promote the center to friends and neighbors.
Owens asked commissioners to continue supporting programming and staffing needs; no formal motions were attached to the report.
