Notes from Sue and Rick
May is Senior Awareness Month, a time to celebrate you—both the vibrant, engaged members who bring energy to the Senior Center and the many other older adults who enrich our community every day. Your involvement—whether through programs, volunteering, social connections or simply sharing your time and talents—helps make Eden Prairie a welcoming and connected place to live.
We’re grateful for each of you and proud to celebrate the vital role you play in making Eden Prairie stronger, kinder and more connected—this month and all year long.

Whether you’re leading activities, serving on the Senior Advisory Council, organizing groups or just offering a helping hand whenever you're needed, you help create a welcoming and supportive environment for all. Your efforts bring people together, strengthen connections and enrich the lives of so many in our community.
