They people here are so nice and they have so many fun things on their calendar. I would have given 5 stars but they have age restrictions- seniors only. I’m not a senior citizen and have only been there to give presentations. I wish they would allow all ages to participate. Perhaps they should allow card carrying AARP members to join them.
