The Seniors Resource Center opens 10 a.m. today at 1780G N. Market St. The public is invited.

Center Director Susan Hilberg said the public will have an opportunity to see the center and discover what programs and activities will be offered by the nonprofit organization.

The entire schedule for November will be available and visitors can sign up for programs.

Adamson Musonda, author and founder of Zambia Hope International for orphaned children, will speak at the opening and again at 10 a.m. Friday.

Hilberg said the author is booked for five more presentations at the new center in November.

She said a volunteer "geek squad" from Best Buy will give hands-on individual training on the center's four brand-new computers. The first session will be 10 a.m., Nov. 13.

Hilberg said planned programs are educational and enriching. The center has a library of specialized books and periodicals.

Frederick Mayor Jeff Holtzinger will make remarks at the opening, as well as Musonda and his host while visiting here, Thomas Cromwell.

Hilberg expects representatives from Frederick Memorial Hospital Health Care, Hood College and Frederick County's mental health and aging departments will attend.

"We will be a resource for the county's seniors who are 50 and older," Hilberg said.
