THANK YOU FROM KRIS!

Words can't express how much I appreciate my retirement send-off! Cards, gifts, parties, kind wishes...I am over-whelmed and over-joyed. I will always treasure my years with Coon Rapids and the friendships and memories that I have made. From the bottom of my heart - - thank you!

STAFF UPDATE:

It's Official! We are pleased to announce that Cindy Olson is now the new Coordinator of Senior Center activities with the Coon Rapids Park & Recreation Department. Cindy recently accepted this position after Kris Niebler retired. She has served on the Coon Rapids Senior Center staff for the past 15 years and has worked in the business for many years! We appreciate your patience as we go through this transition and we're excited about the future of the Senior Center.
