Mentor Senior Center Now on Facebook

The new year meant a new mode of communication for one of the city's meeting places.

The Mentor Senior Center rolled out a Facebook page shortly after New Year's, in hopes of highlighting senior residents and keeping their families abreast of the latest events there.

People can also expect activity information and cancellations to be posted. For example, information about this week's Mardi Gras luncheon was posted, as was a link to a survey about the center's performance.

With just over a month of existence, the page has fewer than 20 likes. The center hopes to boost its profile by promoting the page through its email newsletter.

"Having such a place for seniors to go is an asset to Mentor," one user posted.
