Enrichment opportunities keep the mind sharp, improve memory, strengthen confidence, and build relationships with people with similar interests.
Education and Activities
Nothing transforms the aging experience like feeling young and fit, both mentally and physically. Open to all seniors in the community at no or low cost, we offer fun classes that engage and educate:
- Fitness opportunities (Yoga, Bone-Building)
- Interactive games (chess, Scrabble, Wii)
- Health education workshops (hearing screenings, fall prevention, blood pressure clinics, chronic disease management)
- Arts and crafts classes (coloring, painting, knitting)
- General knowledge workshops (travel, trivia, current events)
- Social activities (dance classes, birthday parties, ice cream socials)
Civic Engagement Group
The Civic Engagement Group is a senior-led group that empowers seniors to address the challenges that impact their community. Participants meet to discuss current events and advocate for important issues, as well as participate in other activities including letter writing campaigns, voter education, and visits from elected officials.
The Civic Engagement Group meets twice a month at the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center. Check out the current month’s activity calendar to confirm the date, time and room location.
