Milton Opens New Activity Center For Seniors July 24

Milton GA has opened a new senior activity center for Seniors living in North Fulton County. The county has contracted with Senior Services North Fulton Inc. and the City of Milton to open a new center at the Community of Christ Church, located at 3315 Francis Road, Milton GA.{[}]{[}]The center held an open house on June 24 and will open on July 15 for hot lunches and activities from 8:30 am to 4 pm Monday thru Friday. The center also offers transportation for those who can’t drive.{[}]{[}]According to NorthFulton.com, activities will include exercise, education, dancing, table games and a weekly outing in addition to the hot lunches. Senior Center Manager Melinda Ross told the paper, “There are 3,000 seniors in Milton that can benefit from these services that we offer.” The current location is expected to be temporary until Milton has the nearby Hopewell House ready for the seniors in April 2014.{[}]{[}]As an aside, my Mom goes to her local Senior Center at least once a week and has made some new friendships while having another venue to socialize. Contact Ms. Ross at 470-554-0758 or mross@ssnorthfulton.org for additional information, to volunteer or to donate items.
