The fall foliage is turning and the leaves are falling – it is certainly beautiful in the mountains where the Bath Senior Center is ready for October!
Hi, I’m Jeanne Apgar, the Center director. We are open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. We serve a hot lunch at 11:30 each day. There are exercises or Wii daily and a special Over 60 program of workouts for Seniors on Thursdays at 10:15 am at the Bath Wellness Center in Mitchelltown.
This Thursday, Oct. 6, will kick-off our 2011-2012 new season. If you are over 60 and a Bath resident, you can join us for free at the Wellness Center. This program is sponsored by the Bath Parks and Recreation, and you do not need to be a Senior Center member to join. Just show up and join in the fun and fitness with us.
We finished our Walk Across America last month and will be staying in Denver, Colo., where our walk ended … until next year when we start again to walk with pedometers! The winners were Janet Offenbacker, Nancy Johnson, Mabel Neff and Katie Smith.
We recently returned from our yearly overnight trip. We went to Wytheville and enjoyed the production “Hello Dolly” at the Wolfhaus Dinner Theater. We visited the African American Time that History Forgot Training Cultural Center and Tour. The rest of the time was spent shopping and antique malls hopping … can’t forget good eating, we did a lot of that! A good time was had by all 20 seniors who attended.
