Thanksgiving holiday. Regular hours resume on Monday, December 2. Stop by 1015

Monday, Nov. 25 – Women can enjoy some 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, Nov. 26 – Get ready for the holidays
now by getting a good workout with the free exercise class, called Sit ‘n Be
Fit that 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! 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. 27 – The women will be at it
again at the pool tables, practicing their pool shots. They get started 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, “Parkland” will be shown at
2:00 p.m.
