Group Interests

55 IS NOT A SPEED LIMIT

Life doesn't slow down when you turn 55.  we believe a body in motion stays in motion and you're just getting started! The Y helps you connect with other adults who have similar interests to join in excursions, fitness, learning seminars, community volunteerism and social gatherings.  At the Y, you'll be celebrated for your life's accomplishments and valued for what you'll do next.
