Austin outlines return of senior lunches, fall programs in Dixon City recreation update
Summary
Recreation staff member Austin said the senior congregate dining program has resumed with hot lunches Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. (suggested $4 donation), announced a senior resource fair on Oct. 19, and previewed teen and youth fall programs.
Austin, recreation staff, told the Parks and Recreation Commission the senior congregate dining program has returned to the senior center and that "We now offer fresh hot lunches every Tuesday and Thursday at 11AM." He said there is a suggested $4 donation per meal but emphasized that "no seniors will be denied if they do not donate." The program’s return has, according to Austin, encouraged more seniors to visit the center on those days.
Austin also described upcoming seasonal offerings and staffing updates. He said the senior club is planning an annual senior resource fair for Saturday, October 19, and invited vendors to contact the senior center. He outlined youth programming including a free Dixon Community Theater after-school program for grades 6–10 running Sept. 10–28, the Dixon Dolphins fall swim program continuing through October, and that the recreation supervisor recruitment has advanced to second-round interviews. Austin said additional classes (CPR, babysitting, basketball camps and indoor pickleball) are being planned but dates are not yet finalized.
