Pennie Smith has been coming to the Wetumpka Senior Center for almost two decades.
She remembers driving to the center’s location near downtown. Since the 2019 tornado destroyed the center, Smith has been coming to the location at Cedarwood Community Church just inside the northern boundary of Wetumpka’s corporate limits.
