Activities and membership Along with the meal program, seniors meet Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to work jigsaw puzzles and visit before lunch and enjoy Nickel Bingo for approximately one hour following lunch. Also, individuals who eat with the group at least once a week are eligible to go on various outings throughout the year. To become a member, an individual is required to eat at the Center at least one day a week. The Seniors invite anyone who is 60 years or older or with a spouse at least 60 to come down and be a part of our group. The goal of the Senior Center is to provide activities of interest for improving both mind and body. No senior should be home alone when the Center provides one good meal a day, time to have fun and a chance to visit with their peers. We are currently planning a trip to Bravo Farms in Kettleman City. Library and jigsaw puzzles - not just for Seniors If you haven't visited the Senior Center, you might be surprised at the number of books we have in our library. Please feel free to come by and help yourself to some great reading material. Public members are also invited to partake of this library. The Center also has a large collection of jigsaw puzzles that members are willing to trade to those who are interested. Come by and check out our collection. Hours for Fitness Room The fitness room at the Senior Center is open for public use from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. The closure at 1:30 is to allow time for staff and volunteers to put things away and clean up in order to vacate the building by 2:00 p.m. We will also be limiting the number of individuals in the room at any one time to allow all the use of the equipment. Young children are not allowed in the fitness room. This is for their safety.
