Oswego Senior Center will celebrate 10th anniversary

This August, the Oswego Senior Center will be celebrating its 10th year of serving meals to senior community members through Older Americans Act funding from the Northeastern Illinois Agency on Aging.

Over the years, the Senior Center has expanded from its Oswego Senior Advisory Commission grass-roots beginnings, serving 56 people that first day, to a full-fledged nonprofit senior center serving more than 1,500 area seniors for more than 29,000 interactions in fiscal 2016.

In a short time, the Senior Center has become an integral part of the Oswegoland community, providing a place for connection through a variety of opportunities and resources.

The celebration will take place at 11 a.m. Aug. 9 at 156 E. Washington St. A program is planned featuring an address by Executive Director Sandra Pastore and Board President James Feeley, music by the Senior Singers, followed by lunch.

Call 630-554-5602 for more information or to sign up for the celebration. There is a suggested donation of $5 for lunch.
