The facility located at 5010 Hwy 7 North took advantage of the past year to make some needed and exciting improvements. “Although we hated being closed due to the pandemic, it did allow us time to reimagine what the center could be and our renovations  are just the beginning,” states Kellie Chacon, Site Manager. “All of our regular programs and classes will return and we now have space to think about and incorporate new programming.”

“The McAuley Senior center has been ‘reimagined’, members will notice a few changes,” says Donna Bates, Program Coordinator.
