Are you a Baby Boomer or beyond? If so, join us each weekday morning for active FUN! Participate in many of the activities played at The State and National Senior Games or just enjoy a game of cards with your friends. We walk, swim, play, visit and just plain laugh a lot. The FUN is geared for those 50 years of age and older; however, anyone can join in the FUN and give it a try.
