On June 6, Tacoma residents who are 60 years and older were able to attend in-person activities at the centers for the first time since March 2020.
“We are extremely excited to welcome our seniors back to our centers,” said Vicky McLaurin, Interim Assistant Neighborhood and Community Services Director. “We know the pandemic and the resulting closure to in-person activities was challenging on our participants, which is why we are grateful that we are finally able to restart our programming and reopen the centers.”
