Wellness is an ongoing process, not a final achievement and involves a balance of physical, mental and spiritual elements that lead to a fulfilling wellness lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle goes beyond diet and exercise, it also involves finding the balance between work and play. Whether you are interested in activities which promote personal development, you want to learn a new talent, or you are just looking for some fun, we’re sure that we can help you find the right connection!
Computers
Some folks love them, some fear them and others hate them! There are many good things that computers can do for you, much more than just e-mail. One of our goals is to encourage older adults to get out and get involved in activites that combine social life and health. In conjunction with that goal, we offer a variety of computer programs that are open to individuals of all skill levels. Our knowledgeable staff and small class sizes make these progrmas a great value!
