Hi, I'm Martin Moulton. I am the adult programs manager here at the Bonnie Dallas Senior Center for the City of Farmington, and we're under the Parks and Recreation Department. The primary goal is just for them to have fun. It gives seniors an opportunity to socialize, get together with their friends, and participate in team sports or in individual sports. Just, you know, help them live a healthy lifestyle, maybe get in shape, train for different events, and just that feeling of accomplishment that we hope they gain by participating. We have a schedule, we have a newsletter that we put out monthly for the Bonnie Dally Senior Center. It's called the Spotlight. There's a schedule of events in there, or they can just call us here at the Bonnie Dial Senior Center at the Annex, 599-1380, and we certainly can tell them the list of events over the phone as well.
