The Patagonia Senior and Community Center recently installed a new kitchen. 

The upgrade consisted of stainless-steel wall and floor cabinets, a stainless-steel food preparation island, and a quartz serving countertop. The overall cost was $43,000. 

During the kitchen upgrade, senior lunches were prepared and served at St. Theresa’s commercial kitchen and dining hall for a period of eight weeks. 

Honorable mention for this upgrade goes to the Town manager Ron Robinson, his workers, Richard Ohnstad and Ray Klein, and cook Roxann Valenzuela.
