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

FEBRUARY - 2012

DELORES FAULKNER, PROGRAM MANAGER

February is full of reasons to celebrate & open your heart to others.  Black History Month, Freedom day, Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day are just a few of them.  Remember Lent begins, too.  The 13th thro the 19th is Random Acts of Kindness Week so please be extremely nice to someone this week.  Some of our specials days in the café include Carrot Cake Day, Alfredo Day, Butterscotch Day, French Fry Day and many more.  There is a special Jello week and I know some of you will enjoy the varieties of Jello that will be made available.  Even if you only attend half the events that we have planned for you this month you shouldn’t have much time to spend hanging around the house. 

Between February 1st and the 13th we’d like to invite you to pick up a few Valentines at the front counter and sign them for us to send out to home delivered meals clients.  If desired, add a phone # or address so that they may contact you.

 Friday, February 03rd- Wear red today to remind people to fight cardiovascular disease.    

Monday, February 06th- Today we are ½ way through winter and it is National Frozen Yogurt Day. Yea!  In honor of that we will be offering frozen yogurt in the cafe.  Check out the new daily healthy snack items offered.  By the way - the week of the 6th through the 10th is “Pride in Food Service Week.”  This would be a great week for you to say THANKS to our kitchen workers.

Tammie and staff - Thanks - you all are the best!

Wednesday, February 8th - 11:30am - Monthly Luncheon Day.  We will hold our Valentines party today.  We’ll enjoy a great lunch and be entertained by our own Stringbenders and Prime Time Players.  Please sign up early, so we can plan for all the fun and festivities.  These monthly celebrations are $5 each month with a reservation and $6 at the door.

Friday, February 10th - At 10am today Stella with “Purse Peddlers” will be here to offer her unique jewelry making.  You may make your own Valentine earrings or pendant.  It is only $10 payable the day of the class.  All welcome.

Monday, February 13th  - This month marks a milestone for me.  I’ve been with the center 10 years this month.  We are planning an outing to Pizza Hut to celebrate the fun we’ve all had together for the past decade.  Arrive around 11am to reminisce and share pictures of the past 10 years.  Sign up in the front office if you plan to join us.  The buffet meal opens at 11:30am and is $5.57 including tax and your beverage and salad is included.  Bread sticks are .50 cents.  This event is being planned for the members, the Red Hatters and the Men’s Breakfast Group, too.  Men, you will meet for chat session at 10am and meet the rest of us at Pizza Hut at 11am, so no breakfast will be offered today.  Red Hatters, this is your outing of the month as well.  I hope many of you will sign up for this special outing.  There is limited seating (50) so sign up early.  

Please return to the center by 1:30pm to join others for a speaker on Black History Month.  Cathy Wilson from the Greene County Historical Society will share a presentation about the changes around Xenia.

Tuesday, February 14th - Join us for a special lunch and a sweet treat today.  XARSC will be furnishing Valentine cookies and punch.  Today the valentines that you have signed at the front counter will be sent with the home delivered meals.
