Seniors


The Senior Adult Program serves over 6,500 senior adults in the Raleigh area.  Some of the many activities offered include sports leagues such as tennis, golf, bowling and more; over 25, one-day and overnight trips each year including cruises and international travel; educational seminars and workshops on a wide range of topics; and various exercise and wellness classes.  There are also 48 Senior Clubs affiliated with the Senior Adult Program.  These clubs meet at area community centers, churches and senior housing facilities, and offer a range of activities such as bridge, speakers, community service projects and more.  While some activities in the Senior Adult Program do require a minimum age of 55 to participate, many are open to all adults regardless of age.

 

2010 Read and Go Series

The Read and Go program is a unique opportunity for seniors to enjoy both reading and travel.  Participants read from a select list of fiction and non-fiction books which have storylines based in North Carolina.  Folllowing a group book discussion, a trip is offered to the areas within our state that are referenced in the book!  The 2010 book list is now available - please click  here to download.  For more information, call 807-8525.
