The City of Stillwater Senior Activity Center
participants will decorate their Center for the holidays on Monday, December 1
at 10:30 a.m. Senior volunteers are needed and welcome to take pride in their
Center and help in decorating. There is no cost to enjoy any of the various
activities offered for persons 50 and over. Stop by 1015 E. 12th
Ave. or call 405-747-8080 for more information. Make sure to pick up
a December calendar of events when you stop by. The Center is open 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, Dec. 1 – If you are worried about all
those extra calories you ate over the Thanksgiving holiday and those to come
during the month of December you should try out the free Sit ‘n Be Fit exercise class offered at the
Center every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 9:30 a.m. The reason for
the name, Sit ‘n Be Fit, is because everyone has a chair to use for some
sitting and stretching exercises and to use for stability while also doing some
standing, limbering up exercises. Stretching bands, rubber bouncing balls,
sponge balls, and wooden dowel sticks are all used for various exercises that
help with your coordination and flexibility. Or, if exercise is not for you,
there is women’s pool playing time and a painting/crafting class that meets at
the same time of morning. The women pool players play several rounds of 8-ball
while enjoying the social time with each other. The painting/crafting class
gets together to share their creative ideas. You can bring your art supplies or
a craft project and join the good time. Remember at 10:30 a.m. the Center will
be transformed with Christmas décor. Come lend a hand with decorating. Also, at
10:30 a.m. seniors can come try their footwork out to some country music during
the line dancing class. Beginners to more advance dancers are all welcome. They
have a good and invigorating time. Later, during the afternoon games of bridge,
canasta, pool/snooker, and jig saw puzzle solving are popular.
Tuesday, Dec. 2 – Wii bowling is a fun and
popular activity to participate in on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30 a.m.
Then at 10:30 a.m. you can Zumba to some Latin class. Afternoon games include;
canasta, duplicate bridge, dominoes, and jig-saw puzzle solving. Exercise
equipment that includes a treadmill, two exercise bikes, and a weight set are
available for use, too. At 1:00 p.m. a coed 8-ball pool tournament will be
held. Women are encouraged to participate. Don’t let the men have all the fun! Bingo
is played at 2:00 p.m. It is a lot of laughs and everyone gets a prize!
Wednesday, Dec. 3 – Work off those calories
again with the Sit ‘n Be Fit group or join the women pool players at 9:30 a.m. Then
at 10:30 a.m. line dancers start kicking up their heels to some swinging country
tunes. In the afternoon games of canasta and other card games are played, and
also pool and snooker. An afternoon movie is shown at 2:00 p.m. The movie for
this week is, “Maleficent.”
Thursday, Dec. 4 – The Wii gaming system is
brought out for some wild games of bowling starting at 9:30 a.m. Guitars are
also out during that time for some free guitar lessons. Bring your guitar and
check out the class. Then at 10:30 a.m. you can Zumba with Angie. This is an
aerobic workout while moving to mostly American Latin type music. This exercise
will surely eat up the calories and there is no charge for the class. In the
afternoon, canasta, bridge, other card games, and pool and snooker are played.
At 2:00 p.m. bingo is played with a guest caller and everyone is a winner.
Friday,
Dec. 5 – Friday mornings get busy with exercise class, women’s pool, and
painting/crafting class at 9:30 a.m. Line dancing gets under way at 10:30 a.m.
This is a good workout that is fun while testing your coordination. Stay for
the afternoon and play canasta, other card games, or pool and snooker. A jig saw
puzzle is always out for some challenging puzzle solving. Also, at 2:00 p.m.
participants can say goodbye and wish well wishes to the Center’s intern,
Andrea Nealy. She is graduating from Oklahoma State University this month and
Friday will be her last day at the Center.
