Executive director outlines AARP tax help, classes and senior events at Northwest Focal Point
Summary
Executive Director Terry reported the center’s calendar for February–May, including AARP tax assistance (Feb. 3–Apr. 14) for residents 60+, SOFIA computer help desk classes, a choir concert Feb. 12, AARP driving course Feb. 23 and senior games in early March with a March 9 closing ceremony.
Terry, the executive director of the Northwest Focal Point Senior Center District, told the board at the Feb. 4 meeting that the center is “busy as usual” and outlined a schedule of programs and partner services for seniors.
Terry said AARP volunteers began assisting with tax preparation and will offer appointments from Feb. 3 through Apr. 14 for residents aged 60 and older. The executive director noted that clients need not be center members to use the service but must book by appointment.
Terry also listed upcoming events and classes: a choir concert by recreation director Denise at 11 a.m. on Feb. 12; a Valentine’s Day celebration on Feb. 13; SOFIA (South Florida Institute on Aging) computer help-desk sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays and added Thursdays from 9:30–11 a.m.; an AARP driving course at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 23; and Margate parks and recreation’s senior games during the first week of March with a closing ceremony on March 9. Terry also mentioned a senior tournament scheduled for May 22.
Board members publicly thanked Terry and staff for their work. One board member said, “Terry, thank you, and thank the staff for your outstanding work that you do at the senior center,” reflecting general appreciation recorded in the meeting.
The executive director’s announcements were presented as informational; the board did not take formal votes related to program schedules during the meeting. The transcript does not disclose costs, registration details beyond the appointment requirement for tax help, or detailed eligibility beyond the age threshold for tax assistance.
