Programs promote wellness and healthy aging by providing opportunities for quality education, nutrition, and recreational activities. The Senior Center is conveniently located in the lower level of City Hall in downtown Chanhassen. The Senior Center will be closed Monday, July 4 and Tuesday, August 9. Lake Ann Picnic Thursday, June 16, 11am Mark your calendar and enjoy our annual Senior Center Picnic at Lake Ann. The weather will be warm and the food will be tasty. We will enjoy all of our favorite picnic foods, lively conversation, and a chance to win some great prizes. Special thanks to our sponsor, the Chanhassen Lions Club. Lake Ann Park Al Klingelhutz Memorial Pavilion 1456 W 78th Street FREE Registration Deadline: Thursday, June 9 GRANDPARENT & ME Bingo in the Park Senior Events Ladies Tea Luncheon The Mayor & Turn-of-the-Century Style Show Thursday, July 14, 5pm Wednesday, August 31, 11am Join us for the Turn-of-the-Century Style Show where we’ll view the delightful period style dresses, followed by a delicious lunch with tea and dessert. The Style Show starts out in the 1800s, when corsets were worn, skirts were long and full, and ladies were well covered. We will move to the early 1990s when the pigeon blouse and the “Gibson Girl” was the style. The intricate details of inset lace and fine pin-tucking will amaze you. Take notice of the crocheted buttons, the gored inset pieces with the “knife pleats” and the use of the hook-and-eyes verses zippers. We will even show you the scandalous “pneumonia” blouse condemned by doctors and the clergy as a hazard to health and morals. The style show winds up in the “Edwardian White” period with a look at the “lingerie style of clothing.” Rejoice that corsets are no longer the style! Special thanks to our sponsor Howard’s Jewelry.

Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 NEW Channel Island Live Dive Friday, June 24, 3:30pm Seldom seen, but encompassing almost half of the California National Park, the underwater environment often goes unnoticed. Now, Channel Island Live Dives brings this ocean realm to you through technology. Great forests of kelp flourish in the waters surrounding the Channel Islands. Over 1,000 species of marine organisms can be found here. Seals, sea lions, fishes, marine invertebrates, and algae all blend together under the kelp canopy to form one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. The Live Dive is an interactive broadcast program that takes you on a virtual hike through the kelp forest to get a real glimpse into this seldom seen world without even getting wet. From the landing cove at Anacapa Island, park rangers wearing special microphone-equipped dive masks descend into the kelp forest, camera in hand. The divers explain what the camera is revealing and answer visitors’ questions about the kelp forest and its many inhabitants, from lobsters to spiny sea urchins and brightly colored fish. Chanhassen Senior Center $3 Registration Deadline: Friday, June 17 NEW LAKE MINNETONKA Postcards and Happy Hour Tuesday, July 26, 3-5pm The faded writing on an old postcard gives us a glimpse of how people lived, traveled, and spent their leisure time. But this simple ephemera is also an invaluable resource for historians, preserving images of years gone by. Few places in the west were as prolific in the distribution of postcards as Lake Minnetonka. First appearing in the early years of the 20th century, these cards are sometimes the only evidence we have of the lake’s great hotels, massive steamers, and amusement parks, as well as humble bait shops, streetscapes, and bits of everyday life. Chuck Donley is the president of the Twin City Postcard Club and has a personal collection of over 1,000 cards of Lake Minnetonka and its surrounding towns. He will share images of the lake area - both familiar and rare - and will explore what the fascinating hobby of delitiology can tell us about Lake Minnetonka’s history. Afterwards, we will enjoy happy hour featuring “mocktails” and hors d’oeuvres. Chanhassen Senior Center $8 Registration Deadline: Monday, July 18
