Eden Prairie's Senior Center is bustling with activities and special events slated for April, including celebrating the city's long-standing tradition of Senior Awareness Month. The center, a hub for the older demographic, emphasizes the importance of honoring the contributions of its senior residents, fostering multi-generational connections, and spotlighting services available to this community.
In recent community news, the Senior Center welcomes new members Jane Davis, Ursula Dickinson, and Harvey Weiss to the Senior Advisory Council, alongside re-elected incumbents Jim Cragg, Brian Larson, and Gayl Smith. Special thanks were extended to outgoing members Arlene Cohen and Sylvia Peterson for their dedicated service, as reported by the City of Eden Prairie's bulletin.
Mark your calendars – the center will not be accessible on Tuesday, April 8 for maintenance work. Additionally, the city continues its support for environmental initiatives, inviting residents to the Arbor Day Celebration at Staring Lake Park on April 26, for an interactive day filled with tree-centric activities and giveaways. Straight after the celebration, the community is encouraged to participate in Drug Take Back Day, an initiative aimed at the safe disposal of unused or expired medications.
April's plethora of events includes a unique opportunity to engage with local law enforcement over a cup of joe during "Coffee with the Cops," where Officer Jason Hunt will be present to engage with residents. Furthermore, those contemplating selling their home 'as-is' can benefit from an informative workshop on April 3, introducing them to stress-free home sales, according to the City of Eden Prairie.
Cultural interests are also catered to with a theater outing to see the comedy "37 Postcards" at DayTrippers Theatre, complemented by a sumptuous buffet lunch. Spring also brings a fresh wave of creativity with a surprise art project event to capture the essence of the season. For those driven by a love for knowledge and continuous learning, the Senior Center offers a variety of courses, including the globally recognized Dementia Friends program and Senior Tech Help sessions, aimed at bridging the technological divide, as per the City of Eden Prairie.
