Sign up for a Defensive Driving Class


        The City of Stillwater Senior Activity Center will hold a defensive driving class on Monday, November 18, from 9:45 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m. An hour lunch break will be taken. The class is sponsored by Safety Training from Meridian Technology Center. Sign-up today! This week at the Senior Center a pot-luck luncheon to celebrate November birthdays will take place on Friday, November 8 at 12:00 noon. Bring a food dish to share or pay $3/person and enjoy the good food and fellowship. Stop by 1015 E. 12th or call 747-8080 for more information and while there make sure to pick up a November calendar of events. Hours are: Monday through Friday, 9:30 am to 4:30 p.m. and Thursday, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for music night. The facility is closed on weekends

        Monday, Nov. 4 – If you are a woman, age 50 or over, and like to play pool or would like to learn, join the women’s pool playing time at 9:30 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.   Also, an artist’s group comes in at the same time. They bring in their own supplies and help each other with ideas and questions they might have about their artwork. Other crafters are welcome to bring their projects and join the group, also. The Center has an exercise room with exercise bikes, and a weight set for senior use, too. The afternoon crowd arrives around 12:30 p.m. to play games of bridge, canasta, dominoes, pool/snooker, and jig-saw puzzle solving.

        Tuesday, Nov. 5 – It is time to get up and get moving. Try out the free exercise class, called Sit ‘n Be Fit offered at the Center. The exercises are low impact, but good for strength and flexibility. Some are done while sitting and others by standing next to your chair utilizing hand weights, stretch bands, and bouncing balls during the 45 minute workout. Afterwards, stay and practice some boot scootin’ line dancing or Wii games. A ping pong table is available for use. In the afternoon, games include; canasta, duplicate bridge, dominoes, pitch, pool/snooker and jig-saw puzzle solving.  Please note: the Veteran’s Affairs representative will no longer be coming to the Senior Center. He will now be at Workforce Oklahoma’s Stillwater office at 3006 E. 6th St., from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays only.

         Wednesday, Nov. 6 – The women get out their pool sticks again after the doors open at 9:30 a.m.  Also, you could try the Wii interactive games, a game of ping pong, or the exercise equipment.  Afternoon games begin around 1:00 p.m., which include; canasta, dominoes, Texas Hold’em, pitch, and pool/snooker.  A puzzle is always out waiting for someone to find a missing piece. The movie, “Savannah” will be shown at 2:00 p.m.

         Thursday, Nov. 7 – Exercisers get going again starting at 9:30 a.m. The free Sit ‘n Be Fit exercise class gives everyone a good 45 minute workout of their muscles. After class, Wii games, ping pong, or line dancing are available. Come check it out. Afternoon games begin around 1:00 p.m. Try a game of canasta or pool/snooker and at 2:00 p.m. join in the fun time of bingo.

         Friday, Nov. 8 – It is pool time again for senior women participants. They welcome new players, so come join the friendly competition beginning at 9:30 a.m. Also, the artists meet up again at the same time. Exercise equipment is also available for use. The November pot-luck birthday luncheon will be held at 12:00 noon. Bring a food dish or pay $3/person. Afternoon games include: canasta, Texas Hold’em, and pool/snooker.
