You will find this quilt block located on back side of building of the Historic McCants Middle School. Sunflowers are a significant part of the senior centers story starting with Jo Brown, the first director who loved sunflowers and seniors. In January 2007, Jo’s only daughter, Kelly Jo Barnwell, was hired as Director of the Center to follow in her mother’s footsteps. She remarked that it is ironic that Director Brandon never once asked for her family’s input on the logo. He never suspected how Jo loved sunflowers!

The Anderson County Senior Citizens Program offers a wide variety of recreational and fellowship programs to enrich the lives of Anderson County’s aging adults.
