I look forward
to coming to the
Heritage Center
nearly every day.
The cardio fitness
class is a must in
my routine. It has
helped me stay
healthy. I play cards
and Mahjongg at the Center as well,
and you just can’t beat those delicious
lunches! It’s an honor to serve on the
Heritage Committee where we discuss
things to make each day better for all.
