When Lawrence Astor learned of an opening for a director at the Dresslerville Colony senior center, he decided the job was just what he was looking for.
Lunch is served each weekday and home delivery is available for the disabled and elderly.
The center delivers about 58 lunches each day to individuals in Carson Valley, Woodfords and Carson City, he said. Astor faces challenges in his job, such as finding grants to help pay for more activities at the center. The center also lacks a storage area for materials used in basket weaving. Another obstacle for those interested in basket weaving is finding materials. Despite the roadblocks, Astor said he enjoys his job.
