The Scotts Valley Senior Center is open once more. The focus is on rebuilding programming because, like everywhere else in life, COVID-19 has affected the center’s operations as well.
Receptionist Marlene Flannery is waiting to greet you!
In January and February, seniors are welcome to stop by — enjoy a cup of coffee, meet friends and catch up. Check out La Boutique and The Library too; both are ready.
The center is open for gathering and socializing safely, for playing cards, boards games, reading and doing puzzles and, as always, for seeking help, information and resources. The hope is to start some classes up in March.
Moving forward, the schedule will be expanded as more offerings become available.
Regarding Project Scout’s tax preparation assistance program for low-income seniors — good news — it is happening!
However, although there will be no face-to-face appointments with Project Scout volunteers again this year, a drop off/pickup service will be provided, similar to the one last year.
Please follow these directions:
Step 1: Stop by the Scotts Valley Senior Center and pickup a Tax Prep Envelope.
Step 2: Read the directions in it carefully.
Step 3: Complete and sign all the required applications, which have been provided.
Step 4: Gather all the required documents listed and add them into the Tax Prep Envelope.
Step 5: Bring your Tax Prep Envelope to the senior center during the operating hours for drop off — please bring with you, your California driver’s license or California identification card.
Step 6: You will be advised by a Project Scout tax preparer when your taxes have been completed and are ready for pickup.
