Senior Adults

Seniors (age 50 and over) meet the 2nd Thursday of each month in the Chapel for food, fellowship, special programs, entertainment and fun. A special Thanksgiving Pitch-In luncheon and a Saturday evening Christmas dinner with entertainment around our beautiful Christmas tree in the Lobby are held annually.  We also take special trips and day-long excursions throughout the year.
