Www.facebook.com/ suisunseniorcenter Did you know? In common years, February can pass without a single full moon. The next time this will happen is in 2018. Once every six years, February is the only month that has four, full seven-day weeks. The senior center was created to be a safe place for seniors 50 and older to come and enjoy recreational activities. Our main focus is emotional, mental and physical health. We offer many programs to reach different cultures, and try to teach, and learn, where we can and when we can. If you have any suggestions or ideas for new programs or classes we can bring to you, please let us know. We will try our best to make it happen. We recommend that if you are a new participant to our center to pick just one activity that stands out to you and to come and try it. You never know, you might make new friends. Suisun City Senior Partners The Suisun City Senior Partners is a non profit, tax exempt 501c group that solely benefits the senior center. All seniors are welcome to attend monthly meetings, and are encouraged to become active within the Partners. Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 9:45 am. Fresh ideas for new programs and fundraisers are always welcome. The Partners help the seniors and staff through programming and mutual support in new projects and classes at the senior center. Any an all proceeds that are made from any Partners program or fundraiser goes back to the partners to help us buy new equipment and fund new programs for the building.
