An Open Letter to Fellow Park Ridge Taxpayers

by: Mac Mc Lendon, Park Ridge Senior Services, Inc.

69 Years ago, I enlisted in the US Army and during the 5 years of active service found a “HOME AWAY FROM HOME”, the USO.

Today, having been retired from business since 1991, I have a new “HOME AWAY FROM HOME”, the Park Ridge Senior Center.

Not all Park Ridge seniors – male and female – may be aware that OUR Center offers more than 140 different scheduled programs in areas of: RECREATION, CONTINUING EDUCATION, CULTURAL EXPEERIENCES, HEALTH AND FITNESS, NEW FRIENDS, SOCIAL SERVICES, and most important, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

Our Center operates 7 days a week as a drop-in facility for its approximate 1,000 active members and has monthly contacts with roughly 4,300 Seniors, members and non-members.

I wish to invite all Seniors and “Furure-Seniors” to DROP IN and visit.  Learn FIRST HAND why today’s members feel so strongly that their “QUALITY OF LIFE” is helped by membership in the Senior Center – their new “HOME AWAY FROM HOME”.
