Lunch is provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. A senior dinner is provided on the third Wednesday each month as well. These meals provide an opportunity to enjoy each other's company. Flu Vaccination: Our senior center will be offering flu vaccinations on October 4, 2011 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. These vaccinations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please bring your appropriate medicare card if you are a senior, for non- seniors the cost was $25 last year. No 2011 costs were provided so the final cost is TBA. Weekly Activities: Each Thursday our senior center offers a Yoga class designed for seniors, but anyone is welcome. The class is taught by Carolyn Deru, an excellent Yoga instructor. Class starts at 9:00 AM each Thursday. Also on Thursday at 10:00 AM is line dancing. Both these activities are designed to help keep people active and provide positive interaction. Anyone is welcome to attend at no charge. Media Center: The senior center has the DUP Memorial Library that offers an abundance of media. The center has books, a few videos, and other resources that may be borrowed at no cost. There are four public computers you can use for to access the internet or do your homework.

West Davis Corridor The UDOT project team is currently finalizing the refined alternatives screening. We will be publishing the these refinements on our project website in early September. These refined alternatives will be carried forward into the Draft EIS for further study. The refined alternatives will reflect data from the public comments we have received as well as further study analysis. There will be slight shifts in some areas and more substantial adjustments in others. These refinements will be posted to the project website, www.udot.utah.gov/westdavis and an email update will also be sent out to announce when they have been published.
