PRESS RELEASE REGARDING LOOSE SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER

 

Linden, Michigan - January 9, 2024 - The City of Linden is pleased to announce a significant development in its commitment to senior services within the community. Effective January 9, 2024, the city will be taking over the day-to-day operations and management of the Loose Senior Citizens Center.

 

Mayor Danielle Cusson expressed enthusiasm about the city's expanded role, stating, "We are excited to assume a more active role in the Senior Center's daily operations and will ensure that this change does not impact in any way the vital services that the Senior Center has provided Linden-area senior citizens for nearly 30 years."

 

The Loose Senior Citizens Center has been a cornerstone of support for Linden-area seniors since its establishment, thanks to the generosity of Argentine Township residents Grace F. Loose and her brother Fred. The siblings bequeathed $300,000 to the City of Linden for the construction of the senior center, and it has served as a crucial hub for the senior community ever since.

 

Originally supported by an interlocal agreement involving the City of Linden, the City of Fenton, Fenton Township, Argentine Township, and the Southern Lakes Regional Metropolitan Parks and Recreation Commission, the Loose Center has seen a change in its support structure over time. Members of the interlocal agreement gradually withdrew, leaving the City of Linden as the sole remaining member. With this development, the city no longer requires a separate board of directors and can now manage the Senior Center independently.

 

The City of Linden extends its gratitude to the board of directors for their dedicated service to the center and the senior community. The city looks forward to continued cooperation to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the high standard of services provided by the Loose Senior Citizens Center.

From the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD): Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1, a type of bird flu, is a virus primarily spread by birds that can also be transmitted on vehicles, by people, and other means. HPAI causes illness in poultry, dairy cows, livestock, and other wildlife. While risk to humans is low, poultry, dairy, and livestock farm workers may be at higher risk due to potential exposures to infected animals or contaminated materials at work. Below are links to printable general resources about HPAI and what you can do to help stop the spread. For more information and to stay up-to-date, visit: https://www.michigan.gov/birdflu
