If one should visit the center on a Friday, I can guarantee that their hearts will be deeply touched by the beautiful picture painted. Seniors are engaged in fun indoor and outdoor activities; in the summer time one could see them enjoying the beautiful sunshine and laughing and talking together. Members also get a chance to express their creative side by taking part in arts and crafts and displaying their own individual uniqueness. The staff knows that exercising is also a very important aspect that is even more vital at an older age. Thus, aerobic classes are offered where members get a chance to be flexible and stretch their muscles and keep in good shape. On a visit to his grandmother, Roger Powell claimed “I could hear the seniors bellowing in a state of excitement from playing a game of bingo.” The seniors have no problem showing off their bodies, some of them are eager to wear their bathing suits into the beautiful pool that is provided for them. Trevor Mcclear said, “I just feel a sense of tranquility when I come into the pool.” But the center goes further, they even offer fieldtrips where members get the chance to leave Avenue H and go to different places. Computer lessons are also offered so that members can keep up-to-date with technological advancements. There are rumors going around that a creative writing and dancing class will be offered.
