Kathleen Burk, spokeswoman for the County Department of Human Services says these centers, designated as “Cooling Islands, will be open into the evening through Thursday July 8.

Burk says all county adults, age sixty and older, are welcome to visit any of the 62 county-funded senior centers during regular hours of operation to socialize and enjoy some activities while taking refuge from the heat. The “Cooling Islands” are available to those who would like to stay at a center later than usual to avoid the discomfort of the extremely warm weather.
