Meet Old Friends – or Make New Ones!

More Than Just a Center: Introducing Our New Meetup Groups!

While most of our favorite programs happen right here at the Center, we know that true wellness starts with connection.  New research highlights how important social activity is for our health, so we’re stepping out to launch our new Senior Community Meetups!

These groups offer a fresh way to:

  • Connect:  Build meaningful bonds with your neighbors.
  • Laugh:  Share stories and experiences in a relaxed setting.
  • Grow:  Join a supportive community that feels like home.

Come join the fun and see how much better life is when we’re together!

Know Before You Go:

  • Sign up for your favorite group (or all of them!) by calling (253) 756-0601 or registering in person at the Senior Center.
  • Getting there: Participants are responsible for their own transportation, but carpooling with friends is encouraged.
  • Going Dutch: Each person pays for their own food or activities.
