“’It Takes a Village’ to keep Little<br />
House the vibrant and engaging<br />
place that it <strong>is</strong> – funds provide<br />
updated equipment, classes<br />
and instructors, special events,<br />
maintenance and the capacity<br />
to expand beyond our current<br />
1,000+ membership. THANK YOU<br />
for your support of Little House!”<br />

LITTLE HOUSE<br />
The Roslyn G. Morr<strong>is</strong> Adult Activity Center<br />
Enriching Body & Spirit<br />
Little House Adult Activity Center was founded in literally a<br />
little house in Menlo Park almost 65 years ago by the <strong>Peninsula</strong><br />
<strong>Volunteers</strong>.<br />
Think of Little House as a “home away from home”. At Little<br />
House there <strong>is</strong> a wide array of activities – card games, learning<br />
a second language, exerc<strong>is</strong>e to stay active and well, enjoying<br />
a relaxing massage, attending book and stamp club<br />
meetings with others who share the same interests, and much<br />
more. Members can learn a new skill or hobby, such as woodworking,<br />
art, ceramics, and lapidary, to name a few. For<br />
“techies” there <strong>is</strong> a computer lab as well as classes from<br />
beginner to advanced, with fun lessons in tracing a family<br />
tree online, using digital graphics, exploring the Web,<br />
or designing customized greeting cards. There <strong>is</strong> a “boot<br />
camp” for hard-core, physical fitness buffs, a strength training<br />
class, other wellness programs for adults of all ages and<br />
physical conditions.<br />
Little House also offers one-on-one guidance for topics vital<br />
to aging adults who want to live an independent lifestyle.<br />
Our “Travel Desk” plans group outings from regional to<br />
worldwide, or you can get help from an expert in planning a<br />
personal trip. All Little House counselors have been carefully<br />
screened by <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Volunteers</strong> staff – there <strong>is</strong> no “sales<br />
pitch”; rather it’s a sharing of information and options.<br />
Mostly, Little House <strong>is</strong> a great place for seniors and adults to<br />
just “hang out” – play a game of cards or pool, watch a movie,<br />
l<strong>is</strong>ten to a speaker, or just come and enjoy the landscaping<br />
and gardens. Lunch <strong>is</strong> served every weekday at the Little<br />
House Café, open to the public. Coffee service opens at 8:30<br />
every weekday morning. We’re even a WiFi hotspot!
