Health Fitness and Enrichment Center, four ladies, ages
90 and older, have been getting together weekly for 14
years to enjoy a spirited afternoon of bingo. It’s hard
to tell which they enjoy more … each other’s company …or
playing bingo! There’s
no shortage of laughter with these four around.
Bingo is offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from
1:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center for anyone 21 and older.
