GENERAL
Colleyville Senior Survey
The city is seeking citizen input about the Colleyville Senior Center. Not a senior?
That's okay, we still want to hear from you. The senior center is a city facility so we're
seeking input from EVERYONE to help us provide a place for activities and programs
that is best suited to the Colleyville community.
In addition to serving Colleyville's senior population, the center also houses most of the
city's regular recreation programs offered through the Parks and Recreation Department.
The best way to meet expectations is to ask what they are...so opinions are being sought
as to activities, programs, days and hours of operation, etc. This survey is available at
Colleyville.com (look for the survey button on the front page) through midnight on
Monday, Sept. 16. Survey forms are also available at the senior center, public library, and
City Hall. For information, call 817.503.1195. Take the survey

reluctant to commit, Ms. Rodriquez will be hosting a free Zumba demonstration on
Saturday, Aug. 24, starting at 10:00 a.m. at the Colleyville Senior Center, 2512 Glade
