Many are widows or widowers who have to rebuild their lives after losing their mates. The center provides a place and resources to help them deal with new things in their lives. There is no time to get bored. Walk aerobics and chair exercises are scheduled three times a week. Many volunteer their time at the annual soup and pie day and the booth at the sidewalk sales.
Speakers come in for scheduled luncheons to talk about health and finances.
The Center also is an asset to the town of Ottawa. The members do volunteer work for several organizations. They help stuff envelopes for United Way. They offer monthly blood pressure checks and yearly flu shots. All exercise classes are open to the public.
