“I’ve never been anywhere that’s celebrated a big anniversary thing, like, you know, worked anywhere that’s celebrated a big anniversary thing. So it’s kind of exciting,” says Nampa Senior Center’s Coordinator Sam Atchley.
The Senior Center at the Nampa Rec Center is celebrating a big milestone — three decades of commitment to the community. Sam Atchley has been the center’s coordinator for seven years but started off as a senior center visitor with her mom. As an avid knitter, her mom suggested she join the center’s knitting group.
“She says, ‘Hey, you know, they do that there,’ so I came for lunch one time with her, and then found out they had the knitting group, so I thought, ‘Oh, I like that, so I’ll join that.’ It was fun, and then I started volunteering in one of the shops,” Atchely remembers.
