Activities & Programs

All activities, parties, day outings and daily room rentals are planned by our Program Manager. For questions, she can be reached at 937-376-4353.


Regular activities, to mention a few, include line dancing, aerobics, bible study, bunco, bingo, computers, corn hole, crafts, swedish weave, quilting, bridge, progressive euchre, exercise, and dominos.

Groups meet here to reminisce, play music, have special parties and hold business luncheons. Weekdays, with the purchase of meals through our cafe, any group may use a lightly decorated room for just the cost of the meals. Advance notice needed.

We also receive the services of many near by senior facilities. They offer blood pressure screenings, oxygen levels, glucose testing and other important services and seminars. They also bring additional activities, like Wii games, free speakers and light lunches to our center.

We have our own Red Hat group which is active here at the center. They plan many outings and hold special teas & parties.

The center is fortunate to have our own trip co-ordinator that plans many interesting overnight, two day, and longer trips. For info contact Rosemary Fawley at 376-0282 or by e-mail at rsfawley@att.net

Wednesday, May 29th - “Ntl. Senior Health and Fitness Day.”  In honor of this day and “Older America’s Month”, we will set up the chair volleyball and other activities at lunchtime and we will offer an especially healthy meal selection today.  This is also the birth anniversary of the one and only Bob Hope, so we will share some of his jokes and quotes today around lunchtime.  We’ll try to show a clip after lunch.

 

Need your help - if anyone has a clip of Bob Hope at one of his overseas performances - maybe you could share it with us.

 

Note:

 

If you ordered subs in April during our fund raiser - You may pick yours up after 2pm on May 6th or before 4pm on May 7th.  Check with the office or one of our many members that are selling if you haven’t had the opportunity to purchase and help with this awesome fundraiser.

 

We are still trying to find out if we have any members that would like to take beginning line dance lessons with Alyce.  She is thinking about a Friday morning.  Please call Delores if interested.

Jim Tunney, our computer expert, would like to encourage those of you with the e-readers, Ipads, smart phones, computers, or whatever to call on him for help. He is here every other Tuesday - opposite Bridge.  Nigel Gunn assists and he can also show you most any day how to get more out of your gadgets and cameras, too.
