SENIOR STAFF: NATALIE SPRUELL Senior Center Interim Administrator STEPHEN DICK Senior Center Coordinator OMEGA SOTO Recreation Program Coordinator The Silver Fitness Greetings Friends! Thank you so much for the wonderfully warm welcome that I have received at the Bonnie Dallas Senior Center. I’m, Natalie Spruell, interim Senior Center Administrator. I am excited for the opportunity to be involved in leading the staff and the senior community towards a bright future. It has been my pleasure for the last six years to manage the Sycamore Park Community Center, which is a facility serving all age groups. At the community center, we provide senior fitness classes, cooking classes for all ages, and volunteer opportunities for everyone. I have been the instructor for the senior fitness class for five years. I am committed to the active adults in the community and have a passion for personal service excellence. I can’t wait to meet each of you, learn your names, and what matters to you. During my time here, I have observed the staff and their compassion for each of you. I want you to know that I am coming along side of this great team to continue to provide all aspects of senior services. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Larry and Judi over the course of the past six years; they are both wonderful people and will truly be missed. As we celebrate their respective retirements, we wish them well on the next chapter of their lives. The delightful thing is that each of them will remain in Farmington, and I bet, they will be by to visit frequently. I wish everyone a Happy New Year, and look forward to what it brings. Blessings, Monday- Friday 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. 50+ years of age Exercise machines including Ellipticals, treadmills, NuStep, SciFit and resistance machines.
