Our Coloring Club group is looking for more people to join them!

Adult coloring has been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety, boost mental clarity, exercise fine motor skills, improve focus and generate creativity.  Not only that, but you get to spend time with others in this fun group doing an easy, creative activity.

Now that Winter’s here, it’s a great time to start something new…indoors!  Not sure if it’s for you?  Stop by and give it a try.  You can bring your own coloring books and coloring supplies but we have extra that you can use to try it out.  Hope to see you there!

The Tai Chi & Qi Gong continuing class next session starts on Friday, January 6^th from 12 – 1:30 p.m.

This class is open to senior members who have previously taken Tai Chi and familiar with form and movement.   Not sure if this is the right class for you?  Stop in, talk to the instructor and give it a try!
