SNELLVILLE – The Snellville Senior Center is now officially the Active Adult Center.
The move was made official to match the age requirements for current membership since the center, located next to City Hall at 2350 Oak Road, allows anyone over the age of 50 to join and participate in all activities and programs offered.
“Our original building funding grant required that the building be labeled as the Snellville Senior Center,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Lisa A Platt, CPRP. “However, we have never felt that title was an accurate representation of the membership, as anyone over 50 is eligible to join. By officially changing the name to Snellville Active Adult Center we feel we will now have a more welcoming feel to all 50 and over who can benefit from the center‘s programs.”
The programs and activities will remain the same, it is only the facility title that is being changed, city officials said.
“We believe that by making this change, it will help those who are in their 50s and 60s to know that our programs and events are designed for them as well,” said Active Adult Center Supervisor Kathi Gargiulo. “So many of them need to be taking advantage of all these fun things that we are doing.”
The Active Adult Center has a membership of 811. The center offers 20 different programs and classes, day and overnight trips, five different groups that meet regularly and six special events throughout the year.
Annual membership at the Active Adult Center is:
- Snellville city limit residents - $20 per person
- County/non-city limit residents - $35 per person
- Out of county residents - $45 per person
- Additional persons from the same residence receive a $5 discount.
The Active Adult Center is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call 770-985-3580 for more information or visit https://www.snellville.org/active-adult-center.
