Building A New
Senior Center In Santa Rosa, CA
SENIORS, Inc. was founded in 2002 with the
sole purpose of raising funds to enable the
planning, design and construction of a new
“active” Senior Wing for Santa Rosa’s Finley
Community Center.
 |
|
The present
Senior Center, located at 704 Bennett Valley
Road, is a former elementary school
originally constructed in 1928. While it has
served its purpose admirably for many years,
it is now simply too small and outdated to
accommodate our growing and active senior
population. Lacking air conditioning and
sufficient parking capacity, the center is
ill-equipped to handle needed programs for
our seniors.
So many times community Senior Centers are
created as stand-alone facilities, isolated
unto a world of their own. In contrast,
today’s active seniors do not wish to be
isolated; they want very much to be included
in the community at large and to give back
to their fellow citizens.
A new Senior Wing at the Finley Community
Center will provide an environment for a
host of intergenerational programs and
services for our community. The new wing
will complete the park by offering
comprehensive educational programs, health
and fitness programs, expansion of the arts,
and intergenerational companionship. The
park is a magnificent resource for Santa
Rosa and completion of this project will
only enhance its value to our community.
Please join us, and the Recreations & Parks
Department of Santa Rosa, in helping this
dream of a new senior center become reality.
Let’s provide what our seniors of today and
tomorrow deserve: the opportunity to be
involved and to work toward a brighter
tomorrow.

Community Center
(Proposed Location) |

Through its
strategic-planning process, SENIORS, Inc.
has identified the following goals:
- Build
community awareness of how active Santa
Rosa seniors can further enhance our
community with their wisdom, values, and
knowledge – sharing this with multiple
generations. By doing so, the community
will recognize the significance of a new
Senior Wing---not just as an addition to
the existing Finley Community
Center---but also as a new way of
learning and growing with all
generations.
-
Develop an effective volunteer program,
consisting of all generations, by
building a strong and active Board of
Directors, Volunteer Director, and
increasing our public relations
effectiveness in the community.
-
Develop and sponsor outstanding
community events, including; a dominant
presence in The Human Race; Annual
SENIORS, Inc. Spring Event; Annual
SENIORS, Inc. Fall Event; Partnership
Program get-togethers; and a SENIORS,
Inc. on-line auction.
