New president brings some changes to Superior Senior Center
The leadership and management of the Superior Senior Center has shifted, and new ideas, activities and Wednesday evening meals attendance are increasing. Normally, about 2 dozen people dine together and takeout ranges between 30 and 50, depending on the menu. The staff would like to see more people stay as this is a wonderful way for residents to socialize and play bingo. (Monte Turner/Mineral Independent)
Tamara ‘Tammy” Wieweck is the new president of the Superior Senior Center, best known for its Wednesday evening meals starting at 4:30 p.m.
Wieweck has lived most of her life in Superior, but being involved at this level with the SSC is new — and she, with her team, have made changes.
“Well, we’ve changed cooks since I’ve been president. We’ve gotten back into the (Mineral County) fair with our booth. We hadn’t done it for a few years as we didn’t have enough volunteers. We even got some high schoolers to come in and help us out,” she said. “That is my goal is to get more young people involved. We’re working on trying to find some teenagers, young kids, who are willing to do services for the older people. Sidewalks, windows. You know, whatever they need. Take the garbage out. Lawn and garden help. We’ll try to connect people that way. It’s going to be a slow process as this is something we’ve just discussed,” Wieweck explained.
