KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville Senior Center held a grand opening for its daily lunch program on Monday, May 2.

The event brought more than 40 local seniors who enjoyed the festivities and lunch.

Wendy Krieger joined the board of directors for the senior center and discovered the opportunity to host lunches for the senior community.

After months of planning, recruiting volunteers and reaching out to the community the grand opening was considered a huge success.

The board has looked into the lunch program before, but had difficulty finding volunteers to make it happen.

To continue its success the center is looking for more volunteers who can give a couple hours a week or more. Volunteers of all abilities and age are encouraged to get involved.

Lunches at 11:30 a.m. include salad bar, soup, entrée and beverage.

Seniors pay as you can with a suggestion of $5 and non seniors pay $6. The option for only soup and salad bar is pay as you can for seniors with a suggestion of $3 and non seniors pay $4.

The center opens at 9 a.m. with a free Tai Chi class for all ages and a pot of hot coffee.
