Senior Center
Pickerington
A
small, but mighty band of senior citizens
had a dream of having a building where
they could meet, have parties, enjoy
meals together, hold educational seminars and
serve others of Pickerington and Violet Township.
Today, that dream is a reality far beyond the hopes
of that first group.
As Pickerington has grown, so has the Senior Center. Today,
there are activities for a variety of interests. Educational
seminars are held frequently on topics related to health
care, financial planning and legal issues for seniors. Card
parties, fellowship dinners, Bingo games, crafts and quilting
are some of the activities going on weekly. A membership
luncheon with a program, is held the third Tuesday of each
month at 12:00 noon. The Senior Center sponsors trips all
around the world and a wide variety of local day trips.
The Pickerington Senior Center is unique among senior
centers in the manner with which it is funded. The majority
of its budget is gained through fund raising done by the
members of the Senior Center. It is governed by a Board
of Trustees that operates under a constitution. Most of the
work of maintaining the building/grounds and fundraising
is performed by the members themselves.
Membership fee is $12.50 per year for anyone 50 years
and over. That fee gives members use of the senior center
building, a monthly newsletter and access to a number of
programs and activitie
