Monday, Dec. 2 – After the Thanksgiving
holiday, the women pool players were anxious to get back to their 8-ball games.
They enjoy several rounds of 8-ball pool every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
mornings starting at 9:30 a.m. They have a great time and share a lot of laughs
together. 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. The afternoon crowd
arrives around 12:30 p.m. to play games of bridge, canasta, dominoes,
pool/snooker, and jig-saw puzzle solving.
Tuesday, Dec. 3 – First thing Tuesday morning,
the free exercise class, called Sit ‘n Be Fit gets underway. This class is offered
every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30 a.m. The exercises are low impact,
and good for strength and flexibility. Some are done while sitting and others are
done 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. This will get you a really good workout! Also, let the decorating begin! Volunteers
will transform the Center starting at 10:30 a.m. 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, Dec. 4 – Pool balls are spinning
around the tables again as the women take up 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 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 historical dramatic
movie, “Mrs. Brown” will be shown at 2:00 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 5 – Work off those Thanksgiving
calories with the free Sit ‘n Be Fit exercise class. The class will give you a
good stretching of your muscles. If you would like some more exercise, stay
after class and join the line dancing group that meets at 10:30 a.m. They
really get to moving and can work up a sweat while having fun. In the
afternoon, get in a game of canasta, dominoes, pool or snooker. At 2:00 p.m. a
wild game of bingo takes place. Everyone is a winner. Don’t miss out on the
fun!
Friday, Dec. 6 – The Center opens at
9:30 a.m. and the women pool players are waiting at the door ready to practice
their pool shots. The painting group is also there with their paints, brushes
and canvases, eager to get creative and exchange ideas. Exercise equipment is
also available for use. Games of canasta, Texas Hold’em, and pool/snooker begin
in the afternoon.
