Speaker: Cherie Bronsky, Hilton Head Senior Center Director. A former owner of a fitness center, she told us about the activities available at the Senior Center. The Center was renovated two years ago. It has 422 members, however only about 90 attend per week. There are opportunities for fitness classes - one at 9:00, there is also a joint mobility class and exercise equipment in a back room. Other activities include card games like cribbage, hand and foot; mah jong; field trips, holiday parties, and line dancing. The average age is 78, with the oldest member being 102. The Center is non profit and membership is $35 per year with fee for classes. They are looking for more senior men to attend.
