Do You Have Ideas For A New Activity?
If you have ideas for a new activity we’d like to hear about it. The Adult Coloring Group and Rummikub players got started this way. Someone had an idea, talked to us about space and scheduling, and they recruited friends to join them. Now these groups are taking on a life of their own!
