Welcome to the American Fork Senior Center!

Dear Seniors,

Hello everyone, I want to wish you a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We are getting ready to go on our Christmas
Lights trip. It is sure to be a wonderful event.

Hope you are all able to enjoy this time with
your family and friends. It is such a wonderful
time of year. It is my favorite season.

We are looking forward to the Senior Center
Membership Fair coming up in January. It will
be a great chance to see what we have to offer
here at the center and sign up for membership.

Love, Stan Street
