New Horizons 60+ Group Plans Activities at the JCC

Freddie Roman
Comedian Freddie Roman, proclaimed "Catskills Court Jester," brought back the days of "Borscht Belt" comedy to an appreciative New Horizons audience at the JCC on Oct. 29.

Meeting new people, learning new things, and taking care of the body are the themes of activities being planned for November by the New Horizons 60+ group for active senior adults. Whether it be creating art for Thanksgiving or participating in a current events discussion, this month has several fun activities planned every week.
