Senior Life Center programs coordinator Gloria Wilms loads boxes with items which did not sell in the center's yard sale Friday afternoon as the last day of operation of the center draws to an end. A $1.5 million makeover of the center’s facilities begins and seniors are being temporarily moved to another location.
It’s been an emotional roller coaster ride this week for participants and workers at the Senior Life Center in Gainesville. Knowing they would be spending the last few days at the place that’s been a lifeline for them made some a little misty. Directors and staff organized a goodbye celebration attended by more than 100 seniors Thursday.
