Visalia Senior Center to Host Luau Open House

Visalia Senior Center Fall Open House will have a Hawaiian theme this year.

The event, scheduled for Friday, October 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 310 N. Locust St., Visalia, will feature information tables, programs and a lunch. Attendance is free.

The Fall Open House is expected to include more than 40 local vendors, each hand-selected as an agency, program or business that offers vital resources for mature adults.

"The Fall Senior Center Open House brings together local community providers, resources, and services all in one place," said Holly Ellis, recreation supervisor for the City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Department.

"It's a great opportunity for seniors and their families to connect with helpful organizations, learn about available programs and resources, and meet others in the community," she said.

Guests are encouraged to dress the part with Hawaiian shirts, leis and tropical attire.

"The more you embrace the theme, the more chances you'll have to win prizes," Ellis said.

Lunch will be prepared on site by caterers. Lunch tickets ($6) must be purchased by noon on October 22 at the Senior Center.
