TAI CHI
This activity emphasizes relaxation and inner calm rather than focusing
on strength. The practice of Tai Chi can improve balance, enhance
respiratory and immune function and promote emotional well-being.
It is a moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise. We offer sessions
for seniors ranging from Beginner to Advanced. Classes are held
on Monday mornings at the Civic Center Banquet Hall. Cost for
each 10-week session is $18.00 residents - $23.00 non-residents. Tai Chi is offered consecutively
throughout the year.
CHAIR EXERCISE
This program is designed for easy exercises to develop flexibility,
strength and muscle tone. This program is excellent for people
who are inactive, have arthritis or limited movement. The class
is held on Wednesday mornings for our Seniors at the Civic Center Loft.
The cost for each 10-week session is $20.00. Chair Exercise classes
are offered September through June.

Bingo is played every Wednesday at our Banquet Hall located here at
the Civic Arena. Doors open at 10:00am, Bingo begins at 12:00pm
and closes at 3:15pm, free refreshments at 1:30pm. Admission Card
