Elsie Stuhr Center preparing to welcome back 55 and better community

We look forward to welcoming people back to the Elsie Stuhr Center in mid-September. Details are being finalized and staff are working toward a tentative Monday, September 13 reopening date. Staff are being hired and trained as we prepare the facility, focusing exclusively on serving patrons 55 and better, for a limited reopening. Visitors can expect the dedicated weight/cardio room to return, the game room will open for social activities, and more. An open house is planned at the Elsie Stuhr Center for Wednesday, August 25. Visit the website closer to that date for details.
