While the Susi Q is a wonderful resource for older locals , it ’ s not as well known that people of all ages are welcome to attend the eclectic range of programs and activities at the Center , which is right in the heart of downtown .
“ The Susi Q isn ’ t a social silo where only older adults interact ,” said Nadia Babayi , executive director . “ Quite the reverse . Our goal is to ensure that people of all ages feel connected to the community at large . So while we are very proud of our support services for our more vulnerable seniors , we welcome a mix of ages to our events . We already see this happening with our author evenings and writing and art classes .”
