Report
It has been a very good season for our seniors and the center. Our attendance is
improving and of course the reality of our new center is starting to sink in and
getting everyone more excited.
Here is some of our event and program highlights the members have been
involved in this quarter.
October has always been a very busy month; starting with the State Fair of Texas then off to the
6t" Annual Empowering Seniors the next day, followed by the trip to Mid Cities Greek fest. We
took a week off from trips to get ready for our Senior Dance which has become very popular
among the senior dancers in the area; so much so that we are planning on having them every
other month. The next two trips were to the museum on American Brides and Bob Jones Nature
Center to get educated on native birds and some bird watching. Art classes started back in
session after taking the summer off, our volunteer teacher is a local artist who loves to teach
our members different techniques. We ended the month with our annual Harvest Festival on
Halloween; once again our members did not disappoint with their colorful and creative
costumes.
November started off with our annual fall foliage trip to Turners Fall Park in Davis, Oklahoma.
We saluted our 20 Veteran members with the help from our Fire and Police Department on
November 11th. We were entertained by the "Imani"- Milele Children's Choir from Uganda at
our Hobby Show. We saw the Sanders Family Christmas at the Artisan Theater and ended the
month with a visit to Joe T. Garcia's for lunch.
December has been fun; we have gotten into the spirit of the season. Members have seen
holiday shows —"It's a Wonderful Life" at the Granbury Opera House and "The Littlest
Wiseman" at Scott Theater. The Gift of Lights at the Texas Motor Speedway and the ICE show
at the Gaylord Texas were different this year. We had close to 50 guests for our Holiday Party
and of course our 2" d annual Noon Year's Eve party was a hit too. We brought in the New Year
at Noon with the help of staff and kind volunteers.
It has become a tradition to have the "RESPECT"-- Rockenbaugh Elementary Choir and the
Carroll Senior High students come for a performance and visit.
In addition to Zumba, Fun and Fitness, we've added new Yoga and Pilate classes for our
members. Spanish class has been received well enough that we hope to continue a 2nd session
in January.
We wish everyone a Happy and prosperous New Year.
