This is an event where seniors can choose a workshop that interests them and learn valuable information in an enjoyable atmosphere. I appreciate all of the amazing seniors who participated in the extraordinary workshops, the presenters and all our partners for all they do for our community.”
Several new educational, fitness and fun workshops were offered this year as well as some old favorites.
