The Senior Center, aka "The Social Event Center"

 

 

The "Hamilton Senior Center Inc." was incorporated and registered with the Secretary of State of Montana in 1991. The Center is a 501-C-3 organization. The operation is staffed by all volunteers, with the exception of a certified cook and helper.

 

o The Hamilton Senior Center is managed by a four-member Board of Directors and two Directors at large.

 

o There are currently over 160 members of the "Corporation"

 

o Citizens of all ages may use our services and facilities. Our primary mission is to support senior citizens'

   needs for healthy food and provide a safe place for all individuals to engage socially.

 

o We provide inexpensive, fresh made, 4-course lunch meals three days a week. Seniors receive a 40%  

   discount provided by the Council on Aging.

 

o Members of the Corporation and the general public may rent the facility for social gatherings and meetings.

   Regular renters, such as  the "Toastmasters", an adult support group, line dancing class, two bridge clubs,

   other card gaming groups and bingo games, help us generate revenue.

 

o We rely on membership dues and donations from members, the general public, philanthropic organizations,

   foundations, and sponsorship programs to meet our operating expenses

 

o Our current focus is on rebuilding our organization and service offering as follows:

 

- Recruit at least 6 individuals interested in volunteering so we can execute our plan.

- Expand our operation by adding activities targeted to non-seniors, such as educational focus groups, high

  school student dances, concerts, talent shows and festive holiday activities that bring people together to

  interact positively.

- Improve our presence on Social Media

- Stabilize our revenue stream to allow for expanded activities and unexpected emergencies.

- Continue to improve, so that everyone has fun and good quality social interactions at our center.
