Senior Day Tours

Senior Day Tours are offered to area seniors about once a month. The goal is to offer one group-rate trip per month for area seniors.

Sign up for announced tours at the Senior Citizens Center any of the Senior Lunches. Participants are asked to confirm attendance at least two weeks in advance. Travel is by District 38 school bus from the School Administration Building (Big Red) or the Tri-Lakes YMCA.

Tri-Lakes HAP welcomes Jonathan Day who has volunteered to serve as the Senior Day Tour Coordinator.
