A message to our valued members of the Bemidji Senior Center:

December 26, 2023
As we all know, prices have increased exponentially since the pandemic. Last year we started a $1 suggested donation for musical entertainment to help defray costs. Beginning in January 2024 we will be charging a $1 fee for Thursday’s music jam session.

As a reminder, the Senior Center is a non-profit organization. Every dollar counts. This fee goes into our general fund which not only supports our coffee enjoyment but helps pay for: Electricity, Water, Waste Management, Heat, Insurance, Repair Bills, Wages, Cleaning, Maintenance, Office Supplies, Cleaning Supplies, the list goes on..
Think about this : Where can you go for musical entertainment for ONE DOLLAR??

If you have comments, please direct them to the Senior Center
Board of Directors. Thank you.
