COMMUNITY

Our Mission is to enrich our community by providing opportunities for all individuals to connect, learn, and grow through diverse and engaging activities, programs, and events.

How we fulfill our mission:

Hold varied activities, program and events appealing to all ages.
Publish and deliver the Community Spirit at no cost to readers.
Open our doors to weddings, graduations, memorials, showers and other family celebrations.
Focus on events for the entire family, for all generations, and for the Tomorrow River community and beyond.

After 35 years of service to our community, the Jensen Center is excited to announce our 3Stage Expansion Project.

With steady growth, increased participation in programs, events and rentals, the Center is ready to expand!

The plan includes 3 parts: an outdoor terrace connected to the large community room, a backstage bump-out and a necessary update to the fire protection and sprinkler system.
