Saying goodbye to July and welcoming August! As we progress through summer, come beat the heat and venture into Emmitsburg 50 + Center to explore many of the wonderful crafts, games, exercises, and trips. For those interested in fitness, we have the walking group on Tuesday mornings, as well as video exercise with professionals available to guide us into good health. Video exercise is moderate and low intensity selections and are available Monday through Thursday. As always, we will have drop-in “unrulies” pickleball available for open play on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Try out chair yoga class on Mondays at 1:00 p.m. If structured exercise in not your style, we also offer an open gym for a person’s open desires in exercise or activities.
If exercise is not of interest, come connect, network, and soci alize during open game time or craft activities. As always, Glass Lab will be available on Mondays. However, we will be including the addition of a beginner’s class, creating “Plant Buddies.” This course is equally available for new as well as returning guests. On on Thursday, August 9, come enjoy the faux stained-glass craft. The “Make and Take” craft for August is an open design, using fabric markers to design apparel of choice. As always, there will be paint-by-number on Tuesdays.
Beginning August 1 through September 30, we are offering Lunch Bunch meals for free for all eligible participants. This is an exciting opportunity to visit the center and bring a friend or to meet new people! We have Lunch Bunch every Monday at noon.
