A Hub of Activity

The Avon Senior Center provides programs and activities for anyone 55 and over. The center provides a multitude of services, including educational seminars, health screenings, trips, social events, and transportation to serve the approximately 5,000 senior adults in Avon and surrounding communities. Monthly offerings include fitness programs such as Silver Sneakers and Chair Yoga, games such as Pinochle, Mahjong, and Bingo, and social events such as Coffee & Donuts, Movies, and special events.

New this year is a Pen Pal Program, sponsored by Home Instead. This program is for members who would like to begin letter-writing communication with another senior in the community. Paper, note cards, and writing implements will be provided. No stamps necessary, as letters will be hand-delivered to correspondence partners.

Participants will meet once a month at the senior center to draft the letters and in turn, receive letters back.

The Avon Senior Center is located at 36786 Detroit Rd., and is open Mon. - Fri., 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 440-934-2417 for more information or visit www.cityofavon.com/159/Senior-Center.
