Summer is wrapping up and I for one will be happy to put this scorching heat in the rear view mirror. As we brace for another hot month, there are plenty of opportunities to come cool off at the Center and partake in fun activities. August 9th we will be holding a Luau. Wear your Hawaiian shirts and skirts and come take a Hula dance lesson. The week of August 22nd we will be holding our annual flea market. Many members have already donated a trove of oddities treasures, but there is still time to bring in new or gently used items you wish to clear out of your home and garage. Lastly, if it’s too hot to exercise outside, come in and join one of our morning fitness classes, chair volleyball, or simply walk the mall corridors. We look forward to seeing you all!
