Join us for a full week of Active Aging events!

On Wednesday, join us at 10 A.M. for a special visit to the Abingdon branch of the Washington County Public Libraries! Go beyond the bookshelves with a behind-the-scenes tour, where you'll explore areas not usually open to the public and learn how books are selected and processed before they ever make it onto the shelves! If you're riding the bus, please meet us at The Rec at 9:35 A.M. The bus will leave at 9:50 with arrival at the library at 10.

RecTech Support is back on Thursday! Bring your devices and your questions, and tech-savvy staff at The Rec will be happy to help! This will take place during Thursday's Social Joe!

As always, come join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 A.M. for our free coffee socials! We hope to see you there!

There’s something extra special about this year’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt 🐰🥚 We’re so happy to host it on our brand new playground and make sweet spring memories together!

Sensory friendly egg hunt begins at 9:30, and all other hunts will be separated by age groups. Please note start times and plan to be punctual, as egg hunts will begin promptly, and we don't want you to miss out on the fun! 🐰

No registration is required. Bring your own basket, and be ready to hunt on our brand new playground!! 🐣

We are so ✨egg-cited✨ to see you there!

Don't forget to join Libby's Intro to TRX class in one week on Thursday, March 19, at 10:45 A.M.

If you're interested in attending Libby's weekly TRX classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you'll need to complete this Intro to TRX class first.

TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise. It is a form of suspension training that uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability simultaneously. It requires the use of the TRX Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user's body weight to complete the exercises. It is versatile, suitable for all levels, improves cardio and strength, engages the whole body, and is low impact in nature.

We hope to see you there!
