THE CENTER
In late 1993 the Borough began construction of the Senior Center, on land leased from the Abington Area Joint Recreation Board for $25.00 per year. The initial construction was completed in the Fall of 1994 at a cost in excess of $600,000.00. In 1999 Borough Council committed Borough Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to an addition which was completed in 2000 at a cost of almost $250,000.00.
While the Borough of Clarks Summit owns and maintains the building and yards, the operation of Center activities is conducted by Telespond Senior Services, Inc. of Scranton.
The Center offers health and wellness activities. For example, Tai Chi, Yoga, and other exercise classes. Other activities include bingo, card games, guest speakers, line dancing, and parties. The Center also offers family support services for respite care for care givers of seniors.
For information about the many activities/events/trips please contact the Center at 586-8996.
Borough Council's representative on the "Senior Site Council" at the Center is Mr. Warren Watkins.
