In September we welcomed back Elder Quest for their Fall/Winter semester and they are filling up the rooms with life long learners!

We are working on linking with the Silver Sneakers program through the fitness center so our seniors have access to both buildings through their insurance providers.

We had a blast with our Alpine Scooter Rodeo as reported in the daily Herald here: https://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/central/orem/alpine-scooter-rodeo-keeps-orem-seniors-rollin-rollin-rollin/article_30ed16ad-9faa-548c-a1a7-ee65057f2dc1.html

We are making preparations for the first ever Oktoberfest celebration on Friday, October 12th.  Prost!!
