Joy and laughter fill the halls on Monroe real estate at the East County Senior Center. Established in 1968 this worthwhile organization strives to assist older citizens living near Monroe homes to stay active in mind and body. The ECSC offers many activities each weekday as well as special events and trips.
Daily activities keeping seniors in the groove are enhanced fitness classes, gentle yoga and line dancing. Those wanting to play can get in on the game with bingo, canasta, poker, pinochle and more on. Quiet hobbies enjoyed include knitting, quilting, and crocheting together. Health screenings are important for those in their golden years. The ECSD provides regular preventative care for both hearing and blood pressure. Lunch is served on site on most days. Trips frequent the calendar with groups going out to eat and sometimes journeying to the Snoqualmie Casino.
Special events add to the excitement had by this lively group of people. Each third Saturday of the month a community breakfast is held. A mouthwatering spread is presented including pancakes, french toast, eggs, ham and sausage. Many are looking forward to getting shopping done at the Holiday Bazaar and Craft Fair December 10th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday strollers will find a variety of homemade gifts including jewelry, woodwork and crafts.
