Come for a brief update about the center from the SASC Director, Community Ed Director (schools), and City of Saline Rep. Then enjoy lunch and socializing with friends. Lunch will be salad, chicken pot pie, and dessert, sponsored in part by CarePatrol. If space remains after the deadline on Feb 16, a $2 late fee will be added. Register at the front desk or online.

Join Jo Ann for a lovely walk outdoors, where you'll not only discover the techniques of warming up and finding your center, but also learn to stay fully present in the moment. Jo Ann will guide you through gentle standing stretches, synchronized steps with your breath, and adopting a relaxing mindset while walking. Be sure to dress warmly and wear comfy shoes that fit well. We'll meet up at the Senior Center, stroll to the path near the library, take a moment to stretch, and then continue our walk. Each class is designed to help you let go of past regrets and embrace new, positive thoughts before we wrap up our time together. Register at the front desk or online for the class and/or free trial.

Did you know that in Ukraine, Easter egg decorating is an important art form that dates back centuries? Known as pysansky, which means “to write” or “to inscribe,” these Ukrainian Easter eggs are decorating using the wax-resist (batik) method. Covered in stunning motifs often taken from Slavic folk art, you’ll also find these decorated eggs in many parts of Eastern European. Over three weeks you will make 2 to 3 eggs. All materials included. Register at the front desk or online.

It is time for a dose of spring! We’ll travel two hours on a luxury charter bus to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand  Rapids. You’ll have four hours to walk amidst the 7,000 tropical butterflies of 60 different species in the Conservatory, while you take in  the fragrant hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils that flank the caterpillar room. You can also wander the acres of outdoor gardens and sculptures for the afternoon. Lunch will be on your own at your cost, whenever you desire in the James & Shirley Belk Café, with a globally inspired menu of sandwiches, salads, and bites, sourced from local ingredients. 

The trip is in cooperation with Pittsfield Senior Center and will be a stop on our route. This is about a 2 hour bus ride but we will watch a movie or two while we travel.  Min 25/Max 50. Deadline: Mar 15. Register online or at the front desk. 

Let’s go out to the ball game! This rivalry is one for the ages, in all sports. It doesn’t matter if you root for the Wolverines or the Buckeyes, this game is sure to be fun and full of smack talk. For this trip we will carpool to the game. We will depart SASC at 5pm for this 6pm game held at Ray Fisher Stadium in Ann Arbor. Min 4. Deadline: Apr 5. Register online or at the front desk.
