Every two years the Center asks its users to complete a survey to help the Center better understand how to support older adults in the Mid-Columbia. We are asking you to complete the survey and return it by May 21st. There are only 35 questions and you should be able to complete it within 10 – 15 minutes. The survey includes questions about how the Center supports older adults plus this year we have also added a few questions about the Internet and the Passport to Happiness Calendar. The survey will be distributed during the Center’s activities and at the front desk. It will also be emailed to everyone on the Center’s email list.
If you love Broadway musicals, you will love Northwest Senior Theatre’s new spring show, “Broadway Highlights.” We will be attending the Wednesday May 15th performance of this 55-and-older Portland-based theater company at the Alpenrose Dairy Opera House, 6149 S.W. Shattuck Road, Portland. The facility is wheelchair/walker friendly.
Featured “Broadway Highlights” will include songs from “My Fair Lady,” “Annie,” “Guys and Dolls” and “Oklahoma!” along with several other Broadway hits. The cost is $25 which includes transportation and the $5 per person donation to help cover NW Senior Theater expenses.
