New Horizons for Active Adults
Did you know that the New Horizons 60+ Group for Active Adults, which was originally
called the 'Golden Age Club,' has been in operation at the JCC since 1949 to address the needs and overall
well-being of the senior adult population?
Today, the group serves all segments of the senior
adult population. The group provides socialization, activities and programming, as well as hot Kosher lunches
on the weekdays in partnership with LifeCare Alliance.
In addition to the lunches and programs, we also make sure our New Horizons 60+ group has the
opportunity to go on several trips outside of the JCC each month. We would LOVE to have you join us!
