St. Cloud Senior Center

Mission:

We are an activities center for seniors as opposed to a senior care center. Our heritage is as a tourist club.

Our facilities are owned and maintained by the City of St. Cloud. Senior activities are conceived, organized and operated by seniors. We have social dancing to live music every Monday night all year. During the high tourist season, November through March, we have shows on Tuesday night fearturing our Orchestra, our Chorus, local talent, gospel singers, Elvis impersonators, high school dance teams and more. Every Saturday night during the high season, and at least once per month during the summer, we have country dancing, usually to live music. This is about 80% line dancing with couples making up the rest. . For all these events attendees bring snacks which are served during breaks.

Special annual events include a Queens Ball, Christmas Eve Party, New Year's Eve Dinner Dance, Golden Wedding Anniversary Celebration and our Senior Prom.

Our mission is to provide to senior residents, senior seasonal visitors and area residents of all ages an array of activities that will make them feel at home in the City of St. Cloud. We do this through a number of self supporting clubs. The clubs encompass musical and dance performance, hobbies, charitable works, self help and state-of-origin.

The Club Presidents elect an Executive Board to run certain events, to allocate meeting rooms, dates and times back to the clubs, and provide necessare administrative services. We keep our costs to an absolute minimum by having an all volunteer staff.

We have space and meeting time to include new clubs. Digital Photography, Painting, Computers, and a back stage club would be welcome additions.
