The Andalusia Senior Nutrition Center provides nutrition, socialization, educational and supportive services for senior adults in Andalusia and surrounding areas. This senior adult program is specifically designed for individuals 60 years and older with no income restrictions. Monday through Friday our friendly staff serve hot lunches in the Center's dining room and delivers meals to the homebound. We also offer fun activities like Field Trips, Card Games, Exercise, Bingo, Sewing Classes and Theme Parties (Boiled Peanuts, Grandparents Day, Valentines Dance, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and many others).
Policy regarding Political Candidates
SARCOA encourages Centers to have a good rapport with all public officials and candidates. Education Education on matters of current policy, referendums, and how the candidates stand on issues is important and we want all seniors to be well informed. However, SARCOA and its affiliated Senior Centers are to be nonpolitical and not endorse individual candidates for public office.
A. All qualified candidates for any public office will be allowed to speak at a Senior Center if it has been prearranged with a date, time, and place and must be advertised in the Senior Center (on the calendar, posted on a public info board) for several days in advance. Presentations are to be scheduled in advance so participants who do not want to participate do not feel forced to attend. For example, not during meal times.
B. All qualified candidates for any public office may arrange time with the Senior Center Director for an informal meet and greet at the facility, but it hsould not interrupt or disrupt scheduled activities.
C. Prior to any presentation, a statment must be communicated to the participants that a presentation by a political candidate does not mean the facility endorces the candidate.
