Lawrence County Senior Citizens' Club, Inc., (LCSCI) was formed in 1975, as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of the State of Tennessee, later receiving recognition under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, eligible to receive public funding. Cash or in-kind donations and contributions to the senior center, either for current use or for the Endowment Fund are deductible as an itemized deduction on Federal tax returns.
LCSCI is a membership organization governed by a volunteer board of directors in accordance with by-laws established and approved by the membership. The board hires a director to manage the daily operation of the Center. Regular membership is available at $10 per year to anyone age 55 or more or the spouse of such member, regardless of age. Supporting membership is also available to individuals under age 55.
Until 2003, the Center received Federal and State grants through the South Central TN Development District (SCTDD) for services to the elderly and for operation of a public transportation program. The SCTDD terminated the public transportation contract with LCSCI in December 2002, and in June 2003 the LCSCI Board of Directors opted out of the Aging Program due to inadequate funding to fulfill the required contract. The Senior Center currently earns the bulk of the money needed for operations through contract transportation work, supplemented by local appropriations from the Lawrence County government and the City of Lawrenceburg government and by fund-raising activities and donations.
In 1999 the Center began a long-range project to develop an endowment fund which, at some future time, will generate sufficient revenue to fund the basic operating expenses of the senior center, and eventually to increase services to the senior population.
The Senior Center is located at 220 Centennial Boulevard, Lawrenceburg, TN, 38464, telephone number (931) 762-9259. Individuals in Lawrence and surrounding counties are invited and encouraged to get involved in the senior center activities.
