A message from Cameron Tease, Executive Director:

Dear Friends:

The Senior Center management and board are dedicated to doing the best for our members and the community at large.

To that end, The Keene Senior Center has been part of meetings and briefings given by local health organizations on COVID-19. The Senior Center has monitored the sites of local, state, federal and global health organizations to inform decisions The Senior Center makes: we want to ensure that decisions we make are based on current information.

There are no confirmed cases of the disease in our immediate area. However, since COVID-19 has created a rapidly evolving situation, The Senior Center wants to do our best to keep members healthy, happy and safe.

THUS, EFFECTIVE SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 2020, THE KEENE SENIOR CENTER IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC: LUNCHES, PROGRAMS, AND ACTIVITIES HELD AT THE KEENE SENIOR CENTER WILL BE SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY.

The Keene Senior Center continues to monitor the situation and will share information via email blasts, Facebook and this website.

We look forward to seeing you back at The Keene Senior Center in the near future.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at The Senior Center

Who We Are

Tours are available during our business hours.
