GAMES


See below for a few paragraphs with information on our Tuesday and Thursday lunch program and what else we are doing for our seniors.  Program-specific information is further down this page, such as the lunch menus.

In the case of snow or ice, please see the linked flyer to find out if we are closed or opening late.

Our fun lunch program on Tuesdays and Thursdays is the focal point of our senior program. Seniors ages 60+ can get a good meal for a suggested contribution of $4.50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This program is supplemented by another local senior program that serves Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so that seniors in the Black Diamond area have access to nutritious lunches five days a week.

The Center provides a place for seniors living in this rural area to gather together, engage in fun and healthy activities, and to get help and support with challenges in their lives.

Looking for something fun to do? So are we! We need YOU newer seniors to tell us how you want to participate and to help organize groups!

​​For more information about the Senior Program, please see the programs listed below, but feel free to call us at 360-886-1011 if you have additional questions.
