Senior Center Expansion Update
Expansion Update
In January the Fort Collins Senior Center Committee met with City officials to discuss their goals and the projects they have undertaken to meet those goals. In attendance was Darin Atteberry, City Manager, Diane Jones, Deputy City Manager, Doug Hutchinson, Mayor, and Wade Turner, Kelly Ohlson, and Ben Manvel from City Council. Joining them was the staff from the Senior Center and members of the Expansion Committee Board. City officials were enthusiastic in their support of the work the Committee is doing and offered many ideas. There are plans to meet again as the process continues.
Presentations
Thousands of people visit and use the existing Senior Center every year but few seem to know the plans in the making for the expansion. Schedule a presentation for your group so that you not only have the information but can be part of the planning process. Contact John Pfeiffenberger at 970-224-6030 or to get on the schedule.
Tours
A personalized opportunity to find out all about the Fort Collins Senior Center and the plan for the expansion. Tours are individually scheduled. Contact Katie Stieber at 970-224-6029 or

Summer Fest at the Farm
Everyone, no matter what age, enjoys a day out in the fresh air, sunshine, with friends and eating good food. We are aware that many seniors grew-up on a farm but no longer have the opportunity to spend a day with cows, horses, pigs and chickens. This will be that opportunity to spend a day at the farm. There will be food and western music. There will be visits with all the animals including a very friendly cat. Food and entertainment provided by Brookdale Senior Living and the Fort Collins Senior Center.
Summer Fest is Wednesday, August 18 from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM at The Farm at Lee Martinez Park. The cost is $3.00 and free door-to-door transportation is available.

No outside food allowed.
