Recent studies have shown that senior citizens who remain active, are able to live on their own longer and prolong the time when they need assisted living, or in some cases they never do. Senior citizens clubs were started with this goal in mind, to keep senior citizens active, productive and happy hopefully forever. You do not stop enjoying things just because you turn 60. As a matter of fact, many senior citizens enjoy learning new things and appreciate a chance to give something to the next generations and these clubs give them the chance to do just that.
Take a look at the senior citizen clubs here. If they are not near you, look anyway and see what they have to offer . It will give you a pretty good idea on what you will find in most clubs. Then contact agencies such as the YMCA or YMHA in your neighborhood. Many of them have excellent senior citizens clubs and activities. Other places to inquire are your local township offices and churches.
