Get Ready to Savor: Upcoming Events at Carson City Senior Center!

Hello, food aficionados and health enthusiasts! If you thought dieting meant "dying" without your favorite foods, think again! The Carson City Senior Center has a delicious lineup of events this March that are sure to tickle your taste buds while keeping your health in check. Prepare to butter yourself up for a good time!

Mind Your Meals – Workshop on Nutrition and Aging

Mark your calendars, folks! On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 2 p.m., Carson Tahoe Health is serving up the much-anticipated workshop “Nourishing Traditions: Connecting Through Food.” This isn’t just your average talk about food, it’s a feast of knowledge on nutrition, mindful eating, and meal planning! We’re talking insights that could make even a salad blush!

The workshop will also feature a Q&A session for all your burning questions – there’s no such thing as a silly question, unless it’s “Am I too late to RSVP?” Spoiler alert: You’re not! No reservations required, so come hungry for knowledge!

Exploring the Meaning of Your Life – A Free Workshop

But wait, we don’t just have nutrition on the menu! How about a side of soul-searching? Join award-winning writer and speaker Theresa Danna for a free, 4-week workshop that serves up more than just food for thought. It’s all about exploring your life’s meaning, sketching out your journey, and connecting the dots—kind of like a game of connect-the-dots, but with far better bragging rights!

Each session runs on Wednesdays from 1:30-3:30 p.m. through April 2 in the cozy Zephyr Room (west end of the center), and the only thing you need to bring is your fabulous self! All supplies are provided. No art experience? No problem! Just bring your creativity and a desire to explore! Be sure to RSVP by calling (775) 883-0703.

A Conversation with Jill Derby – Political Pioneering

And if that’s not enough, join us earlier on March 18 at 12:30 p.m. for an insightful chat with none other than Jill Derby! This remarkable author and political activist has roots deeper than a tree! She’ll share her journey from the family Flying Flapjack Ranch to becoming a prominent figure in Nevada’s political landscape. With a resume longer than a loaf of bread, her story is one you won’t want to miss. And no RSVP needed! Just show up and soak in her wisdom like a sponge sandwich.

Get in the Game— Bingo Fundraiser!

Now, for those of you looking to mix in some fun with your wholesome activities, do we have a treat for you! Join in on the Bingo Fundraiser for Meals on Wheels! Held on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, come ready to dab your way to victory! Doors open at 11 a.m. and games start at 1 p.m. Must be 21 or over to play—sorry kiddos, it’s a game for the grown-ups (or the young at heart!).

Early Bird, cashball, specials, progressives—you’ll find it all under one roof! Cash is king here, so don’t forget to bring some green! For any queries, call (775) 883-0703.

Stretch It Out with Chair Yoga

Finally, if you’re feeling as stiff as a frozen pizza, how about some Chair Yoga? Join the wonderfully flexible Wanda La Russa every Tuesday from 9-9:45 a.m. to boost your strength, balance, and flexibility. Classes take place in the Joshua Tree Room (east end) for just $5! Stretch that budget and get ready to bend like a pretzel—minus the salt!
