Monthly Activity Schedule  

The Bozeman Senior Center has numerous special events and activities that occur throughout the year.

Bridge lessons are for anyone who wants to learn or has never played bridge.  You can get entry-level lessons or sharpen your skills if you know the basics.  Bridge is played every Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 12:45.  You do not need a partner to play.  Come and enjoy a fun afternoon.

Pinochle and Cribbage card games are each Thursday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. you do not need to have a partner, just come and enjoy the afternoon.

Our Recreation Room, finished in 2004, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every Monday through Friday.  It has 2 pool tables to enjoy, also a TV, and a wonderful library full of books for your enjoyment.  Books may be read in the room or purchased: 50 cents for hard backs and 25 cents for paperbacks.

A Summer Sunday in the Park is hosted by the Senior Center every August in Centennial Park.  Free ice cream, an exhibit of antique and collectible cars owned by members of the Bozeman Antique Auto Club, horse and buggy rides, and performances by singing groups make this an "old-time classic" event.

The Spring Fling is being planned to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of the marvelous Rocky Mountain spring season.  A raffle, an antique show, a dance, a barbeque, and a silent auction are some of the special activities that may be included.

Seniors of the Year.  Each year outstanding seniors from each Area Agency in Montana are honored at the annual Governor's Conference on Aging.  This is a state-wide event held in communities throughout Montana.  Since the Senior of the Year Award began in 1984, Gallatin County has had several outstanding seniors recognized on the state level.  These include:  Dr Anna Pearl Sherrick, 1984; Louis Moos, 1985; Harold Dusenberry, 1987; John Bower, 1991; Grace Melton, 1993; Dorothy and Torlief Aasheim, 1999; Marshall Gray, 2000;  Willard Harper, 2002; and Marie Gambill, 2003.

Centenarians:  In 2004, the State unit on Aging adopted a new program, recognizing our oldest senior citizens.  At the Governor's Conference on Aging, Centenarians from around the State of Montana have been honored.  Gallatin County has had three Centenarians honored: Sue Roughton in 2004 and Florence Carter in 2005, and Gladys Olsen in 2007, all of the ladies were over 100 years of age when they were honored.
