This group has a lot of fun singing together and hope to entertain in several different places. You are welcome to join the troupe of joyful singers.

We are fortunate to have a china painting class at the center. If you like lovely painted china, you might try your hand at creating your own treasured heirlooms. They meet on Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, and have the guidance of an excellent teacher, Don Richendrfer.
There is a friendly fellowship Bible class meeting at 10:15 on Tuesday and Friday mornings. We would love to have you share with us.

Painting is a wonderful creative experience. Come on in and enjoy our friendly class and our awesome art on our gallery wall. Everyone is welcome. Some of the art can be purchased and make really great gifts.

There are excellent pool tables in the spacious poolroom and open pool except Saturday morning pool tournaments.

There are also computerized dartboards. There are pinochle games, cribbage and Scrabble games going on every day. We will be starting a domino game called Mexican Train Ride. It is reported to be a train load of fun.

So you see, you can be active or inactive, just as you please, with coffee and usually cookies and always plenty of books, magazines, and movies here for your enjoyment.

Come in to be active, or just to relax and meet friends at the community and senior center.
