Meridian Senior Center
Mission Statement

Mission Statement
"We believe that staying active is a key to physical and emotional well-being and that retirement is the time when it is most important to have activities which are interesting and enjoyable.  The Meridian Senior Center was created to serve as a township focal point where individuals or groups come together for service and activities which enrich their quality of life and enhance their worth as individuals.  The Center provides social, recreational and educational programs that offer opportunities to remain or become a vital and active part of the community."


Center Information
The Meridian Senior Center is located in the east wing of Chippewa Middle School.  The entrance is off Kinawa Drive--look for the message board sign at the entrance to the parking lot on the east side of Chippewa.

The Center is open 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  The Center will be closed major holidays and anytime the school is closed because of inclement weather.

All programs are open to any area resident.  Tri-County Office on Aging meals are served each week on Tuesday and Thursday at 12 Noon.  Advanced reservations are required. 

See 'Schedules and Documents' link on the left hand side for the latest newsletter and calendar.


Membership
Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Meridian Senior Center can call or stop by for a membership card.  Membership fee is $13 per year.  Complimentary memberships may be arranged through the Senior Center.  Please call Kit Frey for more information.  Membership fees support the distribution of the monthly newsletter.  No residency requirements are necessary for membership or for participation in any Meridian Senior Center activity.
