For Elkhart’s Older, Wiser, Life-Loving Seniors

Meet Other New Members!

We’ve planned a special welcome for new members as they join. So, if you are new to the club (or signed up long ago but haven’t made it to campus!), please accept our invitation to attend any of our monthly “New Member Mixers.” At this casual event, you can get acquainted with the club, pick up your key tag and name tag, take a guided tour of the facility, and meet our Executive Director and volunteers. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with other new members — snacks included.  We hope you’ll feel at home in our community from the moment you enter the building.  Simply let us know what day you’re coming by calling us at (574) 336-2652. See you soon!

Upcoming New Member Mixers:
