Community atmosphere

Members of the center are socializing while improving their self-esteem, says the store’s dietitian, Patty Schardt. “The community spirit that comes from this is wonderful,” she said. “That’s what I’m particularly proud of because people are making friends. People who can feel isolated at times are meeting other people and feeling better.”

Senior dancers

A group of about 20 members who are led by a YMCA instructor have formed a dance troupe, which performed to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" at the center’s Halloween-themed, one-year anniversary.
