PONCA CITY SENIOR CENTER TO TEMPORARILY RELOCATE DURING

Building renovations at the Ponca City Senior Center will soon be underway.

Until renovations are completed, the Ponca City Senior Center will temporarily relocate to the First Presbyterian Church, located at 1505 E. Grand Avenue, as of Monday, May 23.

In order to prepare for the relocation, Ponca City Senior Center hours will be adjusted the week of Monday, May 16 thru Friday, May 20. The Senior Center will only be open from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Lunch will be served as usual, but there will be NO activities that week.

The goal is to continue to offer all of the services and activities as usual at the temporary location. However, there will be some changes, such as making Senior Diner reservations by noon the day before dining.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while these improvements are being made.
