Understanding Our Website

There is a menu of seven page names displayed across the top of your computer screen on our website: HOME, NEWSLETTER, MENU & PROGRAMS, PHOTOS & VIDEOS, VCAA,  COUNCIL, and ABOUT US.   A click on a page name directs your browser to display that page.  Computer devices with smaller screens, like smartphones and tablets, handle their menus differently.  An icon made up of three short horizontal lines appears at the top left of their screens, which displays the menu of page names upon being clicked.  Each page is described below.   

The HOME Page is where you land when you send your internet browser to herndonseniorcenter.org.  It contains things of immediate interest and suggestions of other pages and/or external links where you may find them. 

The NEWSLETTER Page contains just what its name suggests.  It contains the Center's monthly newsletter about the HSC and other news items thought to also be of interest to our members.  In addition, a link is provided to the Fairfax County Golden Gazette, a monthly publication for older adults.

The Menu & Programs Page displays a calendar of programs and a daily meals menu. Additionally, it contains information about HSC and external programs. The Calendar is displayed two pages(i.e.one week) at a time, which allows it to be printed to produce a booklet.  Just download the Calendar and print it in landscape mode. Additionally, for devices like smart phones with small displays we have provided a way to view the Calendar one page at a time.  Just click the button following the two page version of the Calendar. Note the above explanation about smartphone menus.

The PHOTOS & VIDEOS Page currently contains a few videos and many photos.  The photos are an archive from over the past ten years. 

The VCAA page transfers you to the home page of the Virtual Center for Active Adults.  Here you can find resources for for online actives.  Depending on the internet browser you are using, it may not be intuitive for  you to return to the Herndon Senior Center (HSC) page.  For browsers that support tabs, the VCAA page will open in an adjacent tab.to the HSC one.

The Council Page presents photos of the Council's directors as well as its Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation.  The HSC Council, Inc. is a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit organization, making all donations to the HSC federal income tax-deductible.

The ABOUT US Page is relatively static.  It contains a list of HSC staff, membership information, location information including a map and driving directions. and a list of frequently asked questions and answers.
