Hey there, April adventurers!
Can you believe it’s already time for another newsletter? As we kick off April we’re diving headfirst into spring vibes and all the excitement it brings. From April showers giving way to May flowers, there’s no shortage of reasons to smile this month. So grab your favorite mug of something warm, cozy up, and let’s see what April has in store for us!
This month we are pleased to welcome the AARP Safe Driving Course to the Senior Center. We hope you’ll be able to join us for a day that will sharpen and enhance your driving skills, which could result in additional discounts on your car insurance, plus a free lunch! Are you interested in learning a new craft, consider taking a Watercolor class with Lana or joining our Wednesday night sewing circle, which welcomes knitters, crocheters, diamond painters and more. Maybe give Tai Chi or Chair Yoga a try! Beginning in April, we will start offering some programs in a hybrid format, which means you’ll be able to join us from the comfort of your own home! Stay tuned for more information on hybrid programs over the next few months.
Additionally, mark your calendars for Single Senior Supper Club this month, where you can connect with friends, share stories, and have some laughs while enjoying beef burgundy and delightful desserts. This month’s movies, The Holdovers and Finestkind, feature scenes shot in our area and on location here in Fairhaven, we provide the snacks and popcorn!
We're looking forward to a month filled with laughter, learning, and moments of joy. Together, let's make this April one to remember!
Happy Spring!
