BLANCHESTER — The Blanchester Senior Citizens (BSC) organization continues to grow strong as it approaches 50 years of serving senior in the area.

Its first meeting was held Nov. 11, 1970. Groundbreaking at the present location took place May 18, 1994.

BSC has an exceptional well-maintained center with newly remodeled kitchen.

Anyone over age 50 may join for annual dues of just $15. Meetings are held on first and third Wednesdays, and carry-in or potluck meals are part of each meeting.

Programs and entertainment take place after the social meeting on third Wednesdays.

The Center has activities planned six days a week; Community Breakfast once a month; three community fundraising dinners a year; plus a very successful and fun Quarter Action.

We welcome new members, come as our guest for one meeting to check us out. We hate being the “best-kept secret in Blanchester!”
