Native American Seniors Program
The seniors program exists for American Indians and Alaskan Natives who are 65 and older or 55 and disabled. All spouses regardless of ancestry or age are welcome with their mates. We honor our elders and they are given utmost respect. We provide a place for them to eat together, make crafts and organize outings. Our seniors work hard to keep activities going and to pay for the van they use for transportation. They host plate sales at least once every month, so please continue to support their efforts.
