Carbondale seniors press fund drive for center roof
Carbondale seniors push a $75,000 fundraising drive to replace the aging roof and heating system at The Gathering Place, the city’s senior citizens center. More than $40,000 has been pledged, but organizers doubt they will hit the end of May target and will continue fundraising. Chair Orlen Wallace cites public confusion over financing and center activities as a factor, noting day care and elder services to avoid nursing homes. He envisions the center growing in value as the elderly population rises.
