The Walking Group is cancelled until further notice, and the council is looking for a volunteer to lead the activity. Those interested in volunteering should call the center. 

The Council on Aging is now using a MySeniorCenter system. Participants will be asked to sign up for a MySeniorCenter scan card. The program will allow the center to contact participants about cancelled classes or upcoming programs.
