If you are excited to meet with new and old friends and talk about the day’s events, or if you want to work on a project that encourages your creative touch, then this social group is perfect for you. We will work on crafts, play bingo, and socialize every Wednesday.

Senior Strength and Stretch A Community Center favorite among the seniors here! This class is geared for seniors of all shapes, sizes, and mobility levels. You’ll be able to get a great work -out that is low impact enough to meet needs and provide a challenging work- out to boot.

Senior Yoga Flexibility and strengthening your core are the theme of this senior’s yoga class. The class is also easily adjusted for people that have limited mobility as well.

Shutterbug Collaborate with other Seniors who enjoy photography. You will learn not only how to take great photos, but some tips on how to make your photos stand out from the rest. *Social Knitting/Crocheting Beginners or experienced knitters should either bring a project or start a new one with us. We have a great time knitting, crocheting and socializing.

We share ideas and create new items together. Help is also provided as-needed.

Walking Club Calling all walkers; join us for two days of walking Wed. and Fri. As we walk and talk you’ll be hitting your stride and realize the heart benefits of a 1,000 steps.

No need for fancy gear- comfortable walking shoes, water bottle, and your favorite ball cap! In the event of rain our activity will be indoors.

*Puzzle Mania Keep those critical thinking skills honed as you collaborate on a group puzzle, Sudoku, or crossword puzzles. Self-facilitated.

Restorative Aquafit This pool exercise class provides low impact exercise. Our heated indoor pool will help work wonders on achy muscles and joints, and will help put a spring into your step. *Scrabble Club The game of Scrabble tests your vocabulary, and exercises your brain! Our club meets each Thursday of the month.

Senior Potluck Dinner On the third Friday of the month, stop by our community potluck dinner to chat with friends, meet new ones and bring a dish to share with others.
