Weekly
Tuesday Ukulele Group
Tuesdays, 10–11:30 am, Great Room
This group is led by local music enthusiast, Susan Wolf. Ukulele players at all levels—including beginners—are welcome! We have lots of fun. If you don’t already play we offer help getting started, and we can even provide a loaner ukulele. Our free class songbook is full of well-loved and familiar songs.
Knitting, Crochet, & Crafts
Wednesdays, 10 am–noon, Great Room
Weekly knitting/crocheting.
Big Talk
Wednesdays, 10:30 am, Fireplace Room
Have you ever felt lonely or disconnected? Does the question, “how are you doing?” lead you nowhere? Skipping the small talk, Big Talk is the intimacy of listening and speaking to get to know yourself or another more deeply. In a small group and dyads, you will have the opportunity to dive a little deeper into your hearts while being respectfully listened to.
Weekly Wednesday Lunches
Wednesdays, 12–1 pm, Great Room
Antioch College’s kitchen is generously providing the YS Senior Center with weekly lunch service Wednesdays at noon in the Great Room. Please register so there’s enough food and arrive no later than 12:15 pm. The meal is free, but donations are appreciated.
