Our Active Older Adults (AOA) group continues to grow as we enjoy fellowship, fun and learning on a continual basis. We have numerous activities going on at any given time so you are sure to find something that fits you. Some examples include: Lunch n’ Learns with special guest speakers, day trips, and group exercise classes. Make sure to check out our bulletin board in the wellness lobby and the website for current information!
