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.
