Seniors at the Norcross Senior Center always know how to have a good time.The center is a safe and fun gathering place for adults aged 60 and older and consists of planned activities such as exercising, arts and crafts, games and interesting day trips to various locations. Attendees are served hot, balanced lunches during the weekdays. The center also hosts various guests who perform and entertain or speak about medical, financial and consumer issues important to seniors. All activities take place in a group setting allowing the seniors to form friendships with others. There are no individual membership fees but some special classes and trips have small costs. Limited transportation is available. All regular attendees must be a center client to participate.
