Ray Hopkins Senior Center<br />
Members of the Senior Center kicked off the month with a Superbowl party where<br />
everyone brought their favorite appetizer and played tabletop football with spoons,<br />
shot pool, and played many games. The seniors are also helping the City gear up for<br />
the annual Egg Drop by stuffing eggs.<br />
Team Angel is back in full swing, writing cards to those in our community going through<br />
a difficult or joyous times. The team also visits friends in the hospital, rehab facilities<br />
or at home and provide caregiver relief.<br />
The Life Story class has provided seniors with an insight into their peers’ interesting<br />
lives. Bummin’ Around returned with a shopping trip to Steinmart followed by lunch<br />
at Olive Garden. The new class “Laughing with Linda” is a hoot, combining simple<br />
yoga with hearty laughter to increase oxygen to the blood and brain to lower stress<br />
hormones and blood pressure. Six AARP tax preparers are busy filling taxes for senior<br />
center members, with approximately 45 people attending every Thursday.<br />
Seniors took a trip to a Greenville Swamp Rabbit game where The Rabbits won in<br />
sudden death over time with our ladies shouting “Go Rabbits” and “hit them bunnies.”<br />
Registration is open for two trips to Atlanta’s Medieval Times for a matinee show and<br />
meal, a trip to Gibbs Gardens and a trip to Pleasant Ridge Camp.<br />
