Dick Eardley Day
Friday, November 14, 12 p.m.
Founded in 1979, the Dick Eardley Senior Center has long been a welcoming place for older adults to gather, learn, and thrive. The center was named in honor of the late Mayor Richard R. “Dick” Eardley, whose visionary leadership in the 1970s and 1980s made the building possible and strengthened programs for Boise’s seniors. Officially named in his honor in 2014, the center continues his legacy of improving the health and well-being of the community.
Join us for Dick Eardley Day as we celebrate his contributions with cake, stories, and some fascinating facts about the man who helped shape Boise’s future.
Note: Regular lunch rates apply.
