Sartell Senior Connection History

In the fall of 2007 many local seniors and community leaders attended the first publicized senior informational meeting at Sartell City Hall.  The enthusiastic efforts of many and a "name contest" created "Sartell Senior Connection" in March 2008.  Sartell seniors achieved the beginning of a dream.  Sartell Senior Connection is now promoting programs and activities independently and with community partners.  Programs will use existing community buildings and talents as resources to provide the most efficient environment for senior activities.

The future is bright as Sartell Senior Connection strives to enhance the creative, health, educational and social endeavors for seniors.

Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (SALT)

SALT meetings are held the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Sartell Police Station at 9 AM to discuss and find solutions to issues and concerns relating to seniors in our community.  Everyone is welcome!
