The Rohnert Park Senior Center's programs are designed to appeal to a wide range of mature adults residing within the City of Rohnert Park and surrounding communities. Recognizing that today's "retirees" span quite a significant age range, the Center offers a friendly, lively atmosphere where you can hang out with old friends, meet new people, pursue an avid hobby or interest or try a new one. Dedicated to the needs, interests and vitality of today's seniors, we are always striving to expand our social, recreational, physical, and nutritional programs and ser-vices.

The type of classes and programs offered are as varied and diverse as the seniors that attend them. To assist you in keep-ing healthy we offer aerobics: Low Impact Exercise, Tai Chiand Ping Pong. For those of you who prefer alternative ways to keep in shape, we offer a variety of dance classes – country & western line dancing, both beginner and intermediate and Zumba Gold. If you need a break from all that exercise we have duplicate bridge, mah jong, scrabble and pool. We also offer a number of classes such as arts and crafts and book clubs. If you're hungry, our Center offers delicious, healthy and creative cuisine provided by Council on Aging of Sonoma County.

Never before have today's seniors been so healthy, active and

vigorous as they are today. We are very proud of the fact that

our Center's programs appeal to such a wide range of ages,

interests and physical abilities. We hope you'll stop in and

check us out for yourself – we think you'll be very glad you did.

If you have any questions or require additional information, you

may contact the Senior Center front desk by phone 707-585-

6780. We hope to see you!
