Geri-Fit: Our Geri-Fit group is rocking it! Geri-Fit is designed exclusively for more mature adults, and the exercises help rebuild strength that has been lost through the normal aging process. We have an average attendance of 11, so there is usually room for others to join us (max of 16). We meet at 1:00 every Monday and Wednesday, so bring your weights (suggested 2 pounds), a stretch band, and your own water bottle, and join us!

PenPals!

Our small but dedicated creative writing group meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at 5:30pm. Newcomers are always welcome.

Puzzles!

We have a great collection of puzzles to get you through these wintery days. We are very happy to accept donations! Just bring them to the front desk.
