Game Time with Becky Let’s play virtual Scattergories on Friday, January 15th at 11:00. I’ll pick a letter and you come up with an Animal, Place, Name and Thing that begins with that letter. Fastest unique responses win's a bookmark! Preregister by calling the Center with your email address.
Pen Pal Program The COA is partnering with the Recreation Department to bring back the Sunshine Club! So often our snail mail is only bills and advertisements. Wouldn’t it be nice to receive a card or note from a local family who would like to spread some cheer in the community? Sign-up to join this program at the COA. The Recreation Department will match a senior with one of their volunteer families. Your privacy will be protected, with all mail coming through the COA first and then distributed to participants. This program will begin February 1st and continue through the end of March. Any questions? Call Becky
