As of January 2006, Arab has a brand new state of the art Senior Center available for our most respected and valued Senior Citizens. Construction of the new 17,000 square foot facility was completed in December 2005.

Amenities included in the center, are a large ballroom complete with a stage, two dressing rooms and a state of the art multimedia audio-visual system. In addition to the ballroom, the center sports the following specialty areas:  quilting, ceramics, billiards, exercise, computer, and game rooms, along with a complete commercial kitchen and a library/reading room.

Arab Senior Center

The Arab Senior Center and its various programs provide a safe, clean and enjoyable place for fellowship for senior members of our community. The Center offers a friendly fun atmosphere where our seniors enjoy a Hot Lunch, Line Dancing Lessons, Exercise, and Gospel Singing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We celebrate Birthdays of members one day each month. Other activities include, Bingo with prizes, Board & Card Games, Movies with Popcorn, Breakfast Outings, Shuffleboard, Special Speakers and Entertainment, Health Checks, Quilting, Exercise Equipment, Computer club with computers, and much more.

Besides these activities, the center offers assistance in many ways such as balancing a check book, reading complex mail or documents, assisting in grocery shopping, plus making and keeping appointments for the hair dresser, doctor, etc. as long as these places are inside the city limits.

Access to these activities and services is accommodated through our bus transportation for members who are unable to drive. Participants are brought to the site in the morning and are returned home each afternoon. We now also pick up seniors who live in the Arab police jurisdiction.

In between times, the bus delivers lunches to the home-bound Arab City residents requiring assistance.

Some of our most popular activities revolve around day trips scheduled to various locations. Occasionally we sponsor a week-end excursion for those interested and able to participate.

Yearly events include:
