Please help save the Schnitzelburg Senior Center!

The City's budget cuts have drained the funding for Schnitzelburg's Senior Center. This Center means the difference between your senior neighbors having a place for fellowship and health and educational programs or being left high and dry without the cameraderie that has become so important to their well being and sense of community.

A big thank you goes out to all who attended the Metro Council open forum and signed the petition to help keep our senior center open. Unfortunately though, the work is not done! WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!

Email the Metro Council at Kathy.Herron@louisvilleky.gov and let them know what the senior center means to you.

While COUNCILMAN JIM KING leads the efforts at City Hall to keep our doors open, we still need your personal pleas and stories telling us what the senior center means to you.
