The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted on Nov. 15 to create a membership fee structure for use of Cobb Senior Services, including centers such as the East Cobb Senior Center (previous East Cobb News post here).
The charges go into effect on Feb. 1, 2018, and will be implemented for spring 2018 class registration (but not winter, which is still going on. Here’s also a schedule of December and holiday activities at the East Cobb Senior Center, 3332 Sandy Plains Road).
Here’s what the county sent out earlier today, with more details and contact information about the new membership program:
Membership Fees
- Cobb residents: $60/year
- Non-residents: $90/year
You may create your yearly membership online at CobbSeniors.org or by visiting any senior center. Cash, check and credit cards (MasterCard/Visa/American Express) are acceptable forms of payment.
- Included in the yearly membership are free, evidence-based health programs (Cooking Matters, Matter of Balance, etc.), access to workout facilities and free coffee.
- If you can’t afford the membership fee, call 770-528-5355 to discuss possible options. You must be within the federal poverty guidelines for consideration.
Class Registration
Registration for winter 2018 classes will begin Monday, Jan. 22, for everyone. Both in-person registration and online registration will start at 9 a.m. Although class fees will remain the same for winter 2018 classes, the new fee structure will be in place for spring registration beginning in April. You must have a valid 2018 Senior Services membership BEFORE you register for any spring 2018 and beyond classes.
The fee schedule is available at each senior center. To view a question-and-answer fact sheet on the new membership program, click here.
