    HELLO Everyone and Welcome back!

    We have all been through such a rough time with COVID-19 shutting everything down. We have lost some of

    our wonderful members and they will be dearly missed. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Boulder City

    Senior Center, we would like to thank Victoria, Lacey and all the staff for stepping up and going the extra mile

    to make sure the needs of our seniors were met and continuing to provide the best support. Hats off to

    Melinda, Shannon and their helpers for providing meals to all the seniors that needed them. One thing I know

    for sure is that we have the BEST Senior Center!

    Sincerely,

    Kathy Emling, President

    SCBC Board of Directors

    After 17 years, SCBC Kitchen Man-

    ager, Melinda Reddin is retiring! Her

    last day at the Center will be June

    25th. Make sure to come in for lunch

    and bid her farewell! Thank you

    Melinda for your years of making de-

    licious nutritious food for us!

    Message from the Executive Director

    Hello to all my favorite people, and welcome to the new

    ones! It has been a pleasure seeing folks and we are

    glad to be back to normal hours. As you all know, some

    of the changes brought on by the Pandemic were tempo-

    rary, hooray for the lifting of the mask mandate! And

    some are going to linger on. One of them is how we

    handle activities. We were forced to utilize our resource

    room for pantry overflow as we continued providing

    groceries for so many. This cut down on usable space

    leaving the dining room and community room. To be

    fair to all of the wonderful activity participants, we are

    only allowing each activity one day per week. You must

    schedule a day and time with the office staff to be put in

    our book. If that time slot is taken, I ask for your pa-

    tience and understanding as well as your cooperation in

    trying to figure out an alternate date or time, or both.

    You are all equally important to us so every effort will

    be made to accommodate your activity.

    We are excited for the coming months and SCBC’s re-

    turn to fun lunch activities and holiday parties! If noth-

    ing else, the last year has taught us all to appreciate the

    little things and our relationships with others. Take

    nothing for granted because in a blink it could all

    change. On behalf of SCBC employees and Board of

    Directors, we missed you and welcome back!!!

    ~Victoria Mason

    As we get back to normal, keep your eyes

    peeled for activities and parties through-

    out the remainder of the year!

    If you are interested in helping with the

    SCBC float for the July 4th Parade, please

    contact office staff.
