The application deadline for spring classes is January 4. Please get an application at the desk or on the rack at the Munson Road entrance. Guests Guests are welcome to participate in programs that do not require registration. Guests or those interested in membership may register for one program or 2 trips. We ask that anyone participating at the center more than once or twice a year join as a member. Unfortunately guests are not able to use the fitness room. Sample Classes All seniors are welcome to take a class one time before registering for the program to ensure it is the right fit.

Enews – Have you heard all the buzz about the new enewsletter that gets sent to all our members with an active email address? The enews letter highlights upcoming programs and events as well as gives you access to the mailed monthly newsletter.
