Kroc membership booms with older members

Line dancing was on her afternoon agenda, after a couple hours of games and visiting. Buchan didn’t have time for her usualgame of pickleball, or to give lessons. She’s busy and can only get to the Kroc Center three or four times a week but always for Open Senior Time on Wednesdays.

“I have a yard and a house to keep up and I’m a widower,” said Buchan, 81, of Post Falls who often drives her grandson to school in Rathdrum.

Buchan and the other Kroc members ages 60-plus are the largest and fastest growing membership at the facility that opened in 2009 after the city won a capital  and endowment grant from the Kroc Foundation. Erica Curless, SR
