Webster Senior Center Installs Accessibility Door
Webster Senior Center President, Judy Bauerfeld, members of the Board and visitors celebrate the Center's new accessible entrance.
The Webster Senior Center can now open its door to everyone! Thanks to grant monies received from the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation, an affiliate of the St. Croix Valley Foundation, the Center has been able to provide an accessible entrance for its visitors!
The Center has worked for several years to rehab and upgrade the building formerly used by the Burnett County Historical Society. This year the focus turned to making sure that anyone who wanted to enter could do so easily and safely. Grant funds were used to rewire electrical circuits and install the accessibility operating mechanism. The Center happily welcomes visitors who can now enter the building despite reliance on mobility devices.
With this most recent improvement, the Center hopes more citizens aged 55+ will join in for the variety of games, sports, and special events hosted every week. Anyone interested is invited to join in for cards, bingo, pool, WII Bowling, and many other Center activities. In addition, the building is available for rent to anyone who would like to host a civic or family event.
