Mary Recchia, Contributor

Mark your calendars for the annual Senior Center BBQ Celebrating Summer on Friday, August 25, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Join us to celebrate the lazy, hazy days of summer. Bring your family and friends for a great time. Rain or shine the party will begin with appetizers at 5:00 p.m. and dinner “hot off the grill” at 6:00 p.m. Registration necessary. Fee: $12 per person.

New Session Added! Are you ready for an active summer? Join Ginger Lambert for Fitness for Every Body on Tuesday mornings from 9:15 a.m.  – 10:00 a.m. for the month of August. Using timed intervals and a series of stations this class will incorporate body weight, light weights and other cardio/strength building tools to boost strength, cardiovascular fitness, agility and flexibility. Joint and ligament issues will be taken into account. Every exercise can be modified for any ability or level of fitness. If you have been looking for a class that challenges you but doesn’t leave you in the dust, then this is for you. Registration necessary. Limit 10. Fee: $10 per class.

Also continuing for the month of August are our regular classes: Gentle Yoga, Chair Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and Strength Maintenance. For a listing of specific days and times for these classes, please call the Center or visit our website.

The next Birding Expedition with Hank Kaestner will be on Wednesday, August 23. Please meet at the Center at 9:00 a.m. so we can carpool together to the location Hank has scouted for spectacular bird watching. Good views are guaranteed through Hank’s “Oh my God” telescope. Register for this event, and if we have to change the date due to bird migration or weather, we will call you. Registration necessary. No fee.

Calling All Creative Spirits! The Senior Center Community Art Show, now in its 11th year, has become a favorite among our community of artists. The show will be held during the month of September and is open to everyone 50 years old or older. All mediums are welcome, and we will have a two-piece limit so everyone will have a chance to see their work displayed in the Great Room. Registration forms with specific details are available on the foyer table, and the deadline for submitting is Friday, August 25. A reception for the artists, friends and relatives will be held on Wednesday, September 27 at 1:00 pm.
