Pleasanton Senior Center to Close for Routine Maintenance June 24-July 7

The popular Pleasanton Senior Center will close for two weeks for routine maintenance from Monday, June 24 through Sunday, July 7, 2013 and will re-open on Monday, July 8, 2013 for regularly scheduled programs. In addition, the main hall of the Pleasanton Senior Center will be closed for day use from Monday, June 10 through Friday, June 21 during minor construction. During this period, the Spectrum-sponsored SNAPPY café lunch program will be relocated to the lobby area of the Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley, which is also on the premises of the Pleasanton Senior Center. From June 10 through June 21, 2013, all daytime exercise classes will be relocated to the Veterans Memorial Building at 301 Main Street at the same times that they are regularly scheduled. Other drop-in classes and meetings that are typically scheduled in the main hall of the Pleasanton Senior Center will be relocated, rescheduled, or suspended. All other center programming will remain unaffected and evening exercise classes will continue as scheduled. During the center closure period of June 24 through July 7, the SNAPPY Café will continue to host lunch in the lobby area of the Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley. For other meal options, Open Heart Kitchen offers a dinner program at Ridgeview Commons (the Ridgeview Café) Monday through Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. for a suggested $3 donation. Ridgeview Commons is located at 5200 Case Avenue in Pleasanton. For dinner reservations, please call (925) 484-5131. Over the course of the two-week closure period, the main hall floor of the senior center will be resurfaced, and other cleaning and maintenance projects will be conducted. Because the center also functions as a busy community center on weekends, such maintenance is regularly scheduled to keep it in good condition for all public use. The Pleasanton Senior Center offers more than 25 classes each week, as well as the administration of the popular Pleasanton Paratransit Program, which provides door-to-door shared ride services for eligible Pleasanton and Sunol residents (70 years of age and older and those that are ADA certified). On a monthly basis the Center also offers free movies, a lecture series, an inter-generational reading program, a computer users group, a Day Trippers program, a Newcomer’s Welcome, weekly walking and bicycling groups, knitting, and other activities. The Pleasanton Senior Center also partners with agencies and business to provide services that include a weekday lunch program and Meals on Wheels (Spectrum Community Services), health screening and foot care (Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley), a Caregivers Support Group (Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley), free notary assistance (Lynne Stein Legal Documents), legal assistance for seniors, tax assistance (through AARP during tax season), AARP Mature Drive classes (offered quarterly), diabetes education (through Alameda County Health Department), a Parkinson’s support group, Travel Ambassador Transit Training, and one-on-one computer training.
