Get your minds working with our newest series of Brain Games! One Thursday a month, join us for different puzzles, brain teasers, and all sorts of activities.

Line Dancing

Come and join this fun filled class with instructor, Jill Weiss, a local New Milford resident who has been teaching line dancing at other regional senior centers!

Tai Chi

A gentle exercise of all joints and muscles of the body, requires no special equipment and improves the connection between body and mind.

Book Exchange

Every first Wednesday of the month, a volunteer from the NM Library comes to the Center’s Richmond Dining Room with a new selection of books for you to “sign-out”.

Midweek Matinee

What a better way to get over “hump day” than with lunch and a movie? Join us as we turn the Dining Room into a movie theater!

Quilt Circle

The group works on individual projects with help from other members when needed and on group quilts.

Chair Yoga

Chair yoga is a great way to stretch and relax from head to toe without the stress of getting out of your chair.

Odd Fellows Breakfast

The members of Good Shepherd Odd Fellows Lodge #65 are back to provide their famous breakfast here in our Richmond Dining Room!

Wii Bowling

Join in the excitement of Wii Bowling, a virtual bowling game that simulates all the movements of bowling minus the heavy ball!

Entertainment

Join us for lunch and music on the first Friday of the month! Before lunch at noon, we will be served with a round of wonderful entertainment!

Senior Songbirds

We are a casual group who enjoy gathering on the first Tuesday of every month to lift our spirits with song.

Wood Carving Group

The group invites the novice to come with a simple tool such as a sharp paring knife and of course, the wood you’re going to carve.

Handwork Circle

Meeting every week throughout the year, anyone can work on their own project, which may be for a family member, a friend, or a piece that is donated to organizations.

Strength and Balance

A low impact exercise program which includes strength training with light hand weights, stretchy bands and chair exercises.

Yoga

Come and join us as we welcome our yoga instructor, Penny Cidri, who brings compassion and a positive approach to her work by helping people maintain a healthy lifestyle!
