It’s a great time after a cool winter to “hop” into the Senior Center to “Meet and Greet” old and new friends. Everyday activities shown below are open to all guests who can enjoy a cup of coffee and snacks served by our hostess. Have a suggestion or request for a game? Let our hostess know. Historic card and board games are available. We’re always looking forward to new ideas.

  • Bring a lunch, refrigerator and microwave available, or plan hot lunch at $4.00 voluntary charge.
  • Reminder… Center open Monday thru Friday 10:00am to 2:00pm. Plan to visit soon! 🌷

🥗 HEALTHY EATING AND NUTRITION: Play an important role in improving overall well-being, especially in senior years. Helpful tips from WebMD:

  • Avoid buffets.
  • Eat smaller portions.
  • Choose carbohydrates low in sugar, high fiber.
  • Drink low-sugar or sugar-free beverages.
  • Choose fruit for dessert.
  • Keep celery and carrot sticks in refrigerator for on-the-go snacks.
