The Senior Recreation Program provides folks age 50 and over with opportunities to participate in a variety of activities. Whether you enjoy playing cards, singing in a four-part chorus, participating in sports or exercise activities, making crafts or going on tours, there is something for everyone. We have three Senior Centers, two of which are also Senior Nutrition Sites offering a hot meal for a few dollars. Most importantly, the centers are a means of meeting new people, socializing, and sharing new experiences. We routinely work with AARP to provide defensive driving courses throughout the year.
