Bingo held at Our Place is not a fundraiser and is solely for entertainment and socialization purposes. All monies collected from the sale of Bingo cards are awarded in the form of prizes to the winners...and on rare occasions to a few of the losers! Sharpen your concentration skills as you relax and enjoy friendly competition with others. Good luck!
Exercise classes are led by an experienced instructor and consist of a program of low impact movements mostly from a seated position or using your chair for support for standing exercises. Over time, these classes will keep you from losing muscle tone as you age while also increasing your flexibility. As you remain active you will notice an increase in your balance, strength and overall energy and also make lasting friendships. We will be adding various styles of exercise classes. Dress comfortably.
Chair Volleyball is played indoors and no Steubenville sand is required! The game is played similar to traditional volleyball with each team having members playing from a seated position on a smaller sized court than regular volleyball. The net is positioned lower as well due to the seated positions of the players. Benefits of Chair Volleyball are gaining upper body strength as well as more mobility in one's joints. It also builds muscle tone and hand to eye coordination. It becomes a great way to exercise and remain active without realizing you are doing so, all while having fun at it!
Line dancing classes will teach you easy, fun and exciting moves as you dance in unison with the group, all while sneaking in some needed exercise. Your body's balance will improve with time as well as your physical and mental coordination. Line dancing requires no partner...so plan to join in to boot, scoot and boogie...boots are optional!
As you put the pieces of the puzzle together, you are also adding new pieces to your life in making friends and building relationships. Research has shown that working on puzzles aids with short-term memory while combating cognitive decline, which can reduce your risk of developing dementia.
Your artistic talents are just waiting to be released in our Craft classes! Join in with others for a myriad of craft projects as you socialize and display your creativeness with others.

Don't worry about making "mistakes" as each person's creation is unique and will quickly become a priceless family heirloom in no time! Class space is limited. Please register on the touch screen.
Calling all card sharks! Whether your group will play Euchre, Crazy Eights, Rummy, or just good ol' Go Fish you will be fighting off depression, fine tuning your math skills as well as concentration.

Don't know the rules of a game? Card players are known for their patience and will quickly teach you how to play.
