Membership is free and some bus service to and from the SAC is available.   Please join us for this upcoming event:



This positive atmosphere carries on each day at the Center, which is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., with a hot lunch served at noon. Reservations are required 48-hours in advance for dining, and the cost is $6 for folks 55-59 years of age. For those 60 and above, any contribution is welcomed, but not required.

Since there are so many things to do, places to go and classes to take — the Senior Activities Center has it's own newsletter, The Grape Affair, to keep you up to date. If you would like to receive a free subscription, please call the Center and ask to be added to the mailing list. And don't forget the monthly Dance; each dance offers a theme band that plays from 7-9:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month.

Activities

Whatever you have an interest in — there is an activity at the Center to compliment your passion. There are groups playing bridge and bingo, oil painting, learning basic computer, practicing T'ai Chi, enjoying potluck and and a movie night, knitting for charity, doing water aerobics, Mall walking, and defensive driving... just to name a few. And events and classes are always changing. In most cases, registration is free, but some classes do have minimal costs.

The Center also supports a Red Hat Society for women who want to go on fun outings and have lunch in a new restaurant each month. Ladies leave at 9:30 a.m. and are back by 2:00 p.m. Trips vary monthly, so sign-up at the front desk is requested beforehand.

In addition, gentlemen who are 55+ are invited to participate in monthly camaraderie in the Fraternal Order of the Plaid Shirts. The group chooses a place in the Metroplex area for a bus tour each month, and also eats lunch out each trip. Please RSVP to 817-410-8130 when attending, and don't forget to wear your favorite plaid shirt! Check the monthly SAC calendar for details and times.
