Senior Moments

Time to change out your tires!

The spiders are busy weaving their webs, the bears are fattening up for hibernation, the harvest is nearing its end as the Autumn fog blankets the valley. September has been crazy busy with all the activities returning that were previously on hold over the summer months.

As you can see on the calendar for October, there are some new activities being offered. Hope you will come and check them out/participate.

We have purchased a Corn Hole Board Set which is currently set up in the games room. If you are not sure what Corn Hole is, generally speaking, it’s bean bag toss. Two-four players can play at one time. The first person/team to reach 21 wins the match. The Rules are posted on one of the Dart Board stations.

Did you know that National Seniors Day is October 1? Imagine that, we have our own day!!!!
