A message  from the Fayetteville Senior Center Board of Directors

2024 Annual Appeal

Our Annual Appeal, which is the financial backbone to the continued success of The Fayetteville Senior Center, has now begun. This stream of donations, legacy gifting and other methods of charitable support has allowed us to offer quality programs and events over many years. Our goal is to be able to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our senior members and tailor our programs and activities in a fun and enjoyable way. So far, we have been successful in doing this. A quick look at the newsletter/monthly calendar shows the extent of our efforts and how we are listening to your suggestions.

We have set a goal this year of $30,000 in new donations and gifts, all of which will be used to help fund our meal program, staffing and the activities many of you have been participating in. There is a positive spirit throughout the Center, and we have been encouraged by the many new members who are visiting us on a regular basis.

Our best “sales pitch” in asking for your financial support is to invite you to stop by, with a friend or two to have lunch and participate in some of the many daily activities. Take an active role and help us to improve on activities that will benefit both you and others. Your lifelong experiences and personal journeys are what make The Fayetteville Senior Center a special place.

We are prepared to discuss charitable contributions and gifting programs that may offer some benefit to you and your family, while certainly helping our cause. The Fayetteville Senior Center is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit corporation.

Finally, as you consider financially supporting our many community resources, we hope The Fayetteville Senior Center is high on your list. As always, our board members and director are always available to discuss your suggestions and individual needs. FSC receives some funding from the Village of Fayetteville, but we must raise the balance from a combination of membership dues, donations, and fundraising activities. Thank you and here is to a successful campaign.

Thank you for participating in this years campaign. We are extremely grateful for each and every one of you. 

The Fayetteville Senior Center invites the community to share in the 46th lighting of the Memory Tree on *Friday, November 29, 2024 in the heart of the Village of Fayetteville. 

In 1979, village resident Doris Baldwin conceived the notion of a seasonal tree illumination with blue bulbs to represent the hue of the forget-me-not flower. Each bulb is lit to represent the memory of a cherished loved one, or to give support, love, and honor to those who are still with us. 

This tradition has been able to continue on thanks to Ruth Wood-Schwartz. In 1999 after the Labor Day Storm uprooted the tree, it was Ruth’s idea (and expense) to replace it with another 20ft tree. The evergreen next to the Fayetteville Fire Station is illuminated in stages as the donations grow, sparkling first at the village Tree Lighting Celebration the Friday evening after Thanksgiving.

Through the years, due to the efforts of many, this has become an important fundraiser for the Fayetteville Senior Center. 

The Fayetteville Senior Center serves its members in many ways, contributing to their social well being, their productivity health and continuing education. We are currently under construction and coming up with a plan to open that allows seniors to participate in their favorite activities safely.
