SEPTEMBER 2024

SUMMER'S LAST HURRAH...


Visit New Horizons today!


Hello!! I hope that you had a good summer. We cannot wait to welcome you back to New Horizons! If you have not stopped in yet, be sure to do so soon. We have new programs in place and even more new programs coming soon. We cannot wait to welcome you back — you, our active and engaged members!


Please stop in to New Horizons or log on to see what great programs and activities we have for you. We are onsite four days each week now, with five days of in person programming coming soon.


Stop by to take a pleasant stroll with me ("Ramble with Rich" — please check in advance to make sure I will be there and that the weather permits), or to learn how to play chess or refresh your skills, or to just sit and chat with others — bring a friend! Come out for the Glee Club — join in and sing or just come out to listen. Of course, we continue to offer all of the programs that you have already come to know and to love — we just keep getting better! And don't forget to sign up in advance for lunch!


Keep reading below and also refer to the calendar and our website for everything going on at the Center in September. We — everyone at New Horizons — want to see you, and we want to hear from you: please let us know how we are doing and what we can do better.


Can't make it in person? We will always try to welcome you via Zoom if we are able. That being said, not every program or activity works well online.


New Horizons is here for you!
