Hello all, I was hoping to continue class for another couple of weeks but I think it's prudent to suspend classes in such a public facility. There are two links below that you may be interested in reading. I have also included some information taken from the city web site. While many of us do need our weekly craft fix to assist our mental health I can't really in good conscience classify it as an essential service.
Please email me that you have received the information that class will be on hold until we get the all clear from the Coronavirus, hopefully sooner than later.
If any of you need assistance for anything, let me know and I would be glad to help any of you.
Stay healthy my friends!
Senior Affairs
The City encourages seniors who can stay home to do so. However, many seniors in the community need a place to receive services and meals.
Recreation & Fitness
- Senior, Multigenerational and 50+ Fitness Centers remain open for seniors who need them for services including meals. However, all events at these centers have been canceled or postponed. Those events include: Bingo, flea markets, dances, and special events.
- Additionally, many smaller events and activities at Senior Affairs are volunteer-led and some of those organizations and individuals have elected to postpone or cancel, including Silver Horizons Food Pantry. Seniors are encouraged to contact their Senior Center or group representative to check the status of an activity.
Tax Preparation Services
- Most Senior Affairs Centers are still honoring tax appointments; however, walk-in tax preparation at Barelas Senior Center provided by the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, has been postponed until at least April 6, due to a volunteer shortage.
Transportation
Transportation, Care Coordination and the Senior Information Line (505) 764-6400 are all operating as usual.
