Seniors, Visit Old Bethpage Restoration Village

Senior Trip to Old Bethpage Restoration Village: On Wednesday, Oct. 26, the Recreation Department will sponsor a trip to the Old Bethpage Restoration Village. We will depart from the St. Paul’s Senior Center at 10:30 a.m. and travel by recreation bus to the village, where you will tour the village and see how people lived during the 18th and 19th centuries. The cost of the trip is $5 and participants should bring their lunch. To register for this trip, visit the Recreation Administrative Office at 108 Rockaway Ave by  Monday, Oct. 24.

Zumba for the Active Senior: Zumba Gold is a program for adults aged 55 or older who consider themselves an “active senior.” Zumba is the newest exercise craze and we have a certified instructor on our staff who will teach you the steps. Classes will be held in St. Paul’s Cluett Hall on Tuesdays at 9:15 a.m. beginning Tuesday, Oct. 11. This 45-minute class teaches the basics of Zumba. The class, led by Felicia Lovaglio, runs for 12 weeks at a cost of $48.
