WE ARE NOW OPEN! We are open to a limited schedule, limited activities and limited participants. The Center will open M-W 9am-3pm & Friday 9am-1pm. Pre-registration will be required for lunches and activities. No Walk ins permitted for now. All members will be required to receive an orientation prior to their first time back at the Center for an activity. Understand that things will be very different for the time being until the pandemic has been lifted or the state and CDC loosen up our requirements so your patience would be greatly appreciated. FOR MORE DETAILED INFO ABOUT OUR REOPENING, GO TO OUR NEWSLETTER SECTION AND READ THE JAN/FEB NEWSLETTER AND THE MARCH/APRIL NEWSLETTER.
Great News: We can bring back a few more activities. Over the next few weeks we will be reaching out to those people who attended Mahjongg, Chess, Pinochle and Bridge to come back in. Chess will be Mondays, Bridge will be Wednesdays, Pinochle will be Monday afternoons and Wednesday afternoons, and Mahjongg will be Friday mornings.
If you see this post and had participated in any of these activities, please give us a call at the Center.

Important message to all persons 60 and over:
We are all in this together! Feeling isolated? The Bucks County Area Agency on Aging is offering a telephone assurance service to any Bucks County senior (60+) who is feeling isolated and would welcome a chance to connect with one of our volunteers. Staying socially connected is essential to good health and has been especially challenging since the onset of social distancing practices. This program allows Bucks County residents to connect with someone new, get to know one another, and share their experience through the course of this pandemic. To join this program, call 267-880-5700 and ask to be registered for the telephone assurance program. It’s amazing the difference a little togetherness can make!
