We have activities in which the seniors enjoy Valentines' Day, Easter, Mother's/Father's Day celebrations with a raffle basket. We have two Trunk Events, Ice Cream Social/Bingo, Monthly Bingo, Holiday Craft Fair, support Big Mama's Show and Shine for Meals on Wheels, Holiday Gift Bags for our Home Bound Seniors (165) and a free Holiday lunch for all Young at Heart Members.
