CLASSROOM SUPPORT
Having the Center connected with Lincoln Schools gives our Seniors the opportunity to foster Intergenerational relationships with "our" schools children. We are able to provide support for classroom projects, and volunteer at special programs such as Pioneer Days and the Middle School Reality Shop. Each month our Seniors work on a group activity with the children, and we also have volunteers that go to Model Elementary School to read with the children. This past winter, Mr.& Mrs. Santa brought one of their elves to a holiday program.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The center provides a "Home Away from Home" for many of our members. Life -long friendships have been formed.!
Our seniors enjoy playing Bingo & Cards and participate in Parties & Potlucks.
We also take day trips to area museums and restaurants as well as go on extended trips during the year.
