Policies and Rules

Membership:

Annual membership dues are $25.00 for Delaware County residents (those who live within the boundaries of Delaware County and $30.00 for nonresidents living outside the County limits.  Purchasing a membership to the Senior Citizens Inc. and /or the activity  center entitles you to priority registration for Delaware Senior Center programs and trips each month.  As a member you will receive the monthly newsletters which showcase current information about a wide variety of free and fee based programs available.

Nonresident Fee:

The residents that reside in Delaware County pay taxes that support the Delaware Senior Center.  The nonresidents do not pay these taxes and therefore pay the extra amount for programs and trips.

Refunds:

If a participant cancels a trip or activity, in order to qualify for a refund, his or her seat must be filled from the waiting list.  Because our fees are based on minimum participant numbers, refunds must be requested 24 hours before the activity begins.  Consideration will be given to written requests for refunds in cases where there has been an injury or unforeseen problems not within your control.  There is an $8.00 fee for processing all refunds. 

Waiting Lists & Cancelled Classes:

We will advise members if a class is full and give them an opportunity to enroll on a waiting list.  If a class is cancelled we will notify the registrants and issue credits – checks may be issued upon request or a credit for another program may be requested.  There is no processing fee when a class is cancelled by the Delaware Senior Center.

Photos Taken by Staff:

During programs, participants may be photographed by the Delaware Senior Center for publicity purposes.  If you do not desire to have your photo taken, please tell the photographer.  You may also contact our office.
