Starlight Swing Dance

The Lehigh Acres Senior Center has several events throughout the year and here are a few we hope you consider. Starlight Swing Dance is Thursday Aug. 11 at 4:30 p.m. and you must be a member to participate. Please make sure you sign up no later than Aug. 4 in the kitchen. The cost of this dance is only $5, which includes pizza and the DJ. Your favorite DJ will be playing all of your favorite songs. You do NOT want to miss this event.

A study done by The New England Journal of Medicine found that dancing can boost your memory and even prevent the onset of dementia. Dance improves your flexibility, minimizes stress, reduces depression, helps with weight loss, increases your energy levels and many more benefits. So, crank up the music and start moving! We hope to see you at the Starlight Swing Dance.

The Senior Center’s next birthday celebration for July and August is on Thursday, Aug. 25. If your birthday falls in July or August, please let us help celebrate your special day. This event is free to those with birthdays that fall within these months. If you would like to bring a guest, the cost for them is $7.50. You must sign up and/or pay by Thursday, Aug. 18.

None of these events would be possible without The Special Events Committee led by Ellie Kalecius. They come up with themes and decorate the auditorium specific to each event. They also set up and tear down the tables and chairs. All this hard work is done to help make all of our events successful. Thank you to all of the volunteers who give your time and energy. WE APPRECIATE YOU!
