– Mackenzie Lindy Schmitt and Robert Schmitt of Templeton have donated a new Lectric XP trike to the Paso Robles Senior Center to support a fundraising effort.
Mackenzie Lindy Schmitt said, “The Paso Robles Senior Center does so much good for the seniors in the North County, donating to them was a ‘no-brainer.’”
The Paso Robles Senior Center receives more than 1,500 visits a month and serves as a hub for many seniors’ active lives. The center offers daily hot lunches through the Meals That Connect program, grief counseling, exercise classes, social groups, weekly bingo, many card games, and a no-cost seniors’ farmers’ market sponsored by the Food Bank of San Luis Obispo County. The lobby provides hot coffee, tea, cocoa, and water for members and visitors.
The Cuesta College Emeritus program contributes to the center’s offerings with two art classes, a writing class, a technology class, and yoga and adaptive exercise classes.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will help the senior center provide free annual events such as holiday parties, a membership appreciation party, and an Unbirthday Birthday Party, a celebration of all members’ birthdays on one special day.
Tickets for the raffle cost $10 each, with only 200 tickets available. Tickets can be purchased at 270 Scott Street. The winner will be announced on July 31 at 1 p.m. For more information, call (805) 237-3880.
