News at the Senior Center
January was an exciting and engaging
month for members at the Senior Center.
We celebrated our one year anniversary
with Twice As Nice + One with dancing
and singing at Lunch and More. Thank
you to everyone for making it possible to
have such a successful first year. Last
January we had eighty members and today
we have over 500 members. We are
excited about the upcoming year. This
month we also had fun playing “Trivia
Time” with our incredible volunteers and
terrific members, and heard a wonderful
harpist & pianist. The Center for Critical
Thinking once again stimulated great
discussion on our political system, as did
the showing of The Sturgen Queens for
our Documentary & Discussion group.
Thank you for making this the best place
to be in Naples!
TIME FLIES WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN….
We are celebrating our one year anniversary this
month. Thank you for joining us, and telling your

Senior Center Manager. The cost for membership
will remain at $15 for the year

More than two decades of medical research have found that regular, comprehensive brain exercise can reduce the risk of cognitive
decline by up to 63%. Dakim understands that the best way to make
brain exercise a part of every senior’s daily routine is to make it
enjoyable as well as beneficial.
Dakim Brain Fitness is designed to provide a fun, comprehensive
brain workout. Dakim cross-trains six essential cognitive domains
with over 100 different exercise formats across multiple levels of
challenge. Altogether, it includes more than 300 hours of vivid
graphics, music, humor, movie clips, stories, and trivia to keep the
program interesting, engaging and most of all fun.
The Dakim Brain Center is available for our members. Ask our
staff for a demonstration. We will be happy to help you get started
using Dakim.
