City helps KASZ organization in acquiring senior activity center

by David White

The Kyle Area Senior Zone (KASZ) organization is beginning its first steps in acquiring an independent senior activity center. The KASZ organization welcomes all retired residents to its activities, and currently meets at the Krug Activity Center in Kyle, the former city hall, where they have been meeting for 16 years.

Vanessa Westbrook, Program Entertainment Coordinator, says the group has outgrown the building and sometimes has to turn away patrons at big events because they are over capacity. She cited Thanksgiving as an example in which there wasn’t enough seating and they had to turn people away. “We gave them food to go, but we still didn’t have room for them,” she added. “It was heartbreaking.”
