What a spectacular day we had Saturday, August 8 at the unveiling of the new Active Adult and Community Center. With over 120 people in attendance throughout the day the Center was full of life and energy it has not seen in years. I want to thank Annette Cardona, Community Services Director for pulling everything together. In addition, our local VFW kicked everything off with a flag presentation, then Mayor Douglas Tucker welcomed everyone and introduced Ernie Morales, Active Adult Commission Chair who addressed the crowd in both English and Spanish letting everyone know this is your Active Adult Center. Mayor Tucker wrapped things up recognizing the ten area agencies and seven instructors offering programs at the Active Adult Center.

The Active Adult Center received a facelift prior to the grand opening with new paint, bathroom fixtures, furniture and polished floors. It looks like a brand new building. Please stop by the Active Adult and Community Center Monday thru Friday from 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM and participate in one of our programs or just relax watching TV, reading a book or enjoying a cup of coffee. Our active adults will be impressed by the new look and programs being offered.

This is another example why Fillmore is the “Best Last Small Town.”
