From board games to video games, plenty of fun happenings are on the roster at the Stillwater Senior Activity Center. Any citizen aged 55 and older is welcome to use the spacious facility for free. The center on East 12th Street has been open for more than 30 years and underwent extensive renovation in 2006. It’s open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. “We offer the usual activities such as ceramic classes, card playing and exercise courses, but we have also purchased a new Wii gaming system that our seniors have been using every Wednesday,” says Rachel Palmer, recreation supervisor for the Stillwater Senior Activity Center. “With the Wii, participants can virtually bowl, play baseball, tennis or many other fun games all in the building, plus we have started a fun exercise activity time using the Wii. It gets more popular all the time.” The center features a Ladies Billiards Morning, as well as a low aerobic workout session called Sit ‘n’ Be Fit. “The Sit ‘n’ Be Fit men and women participate in a lot of exercises seated in a chair, while some simply stand next to a chair and use it for balance,” Palmer says. “The center also offers a digital camera class where participants can learn how to upload and download their digital photos on the computer. That is especially popular with seniors who have young grandchildren.” Other activities at the Stillwater Senior Activity Center include bridge tournaments, oil painting classes and crafting workshops. “A lot of our seniors also volunteer in the community, so we organize several of those volunteer opportunities out of the center so that the seniors will know where to best serve the Stillwater community,” Palmer says. “The center is a certainly a fun place to socialize and stay active.”
