What Members Have to Say
May, Abe, Carol, Estelle and MarilynI'm a huge fan of movies. It's a kick to see someone experience one of my favorite movies for the first time. -- Marilyn

I went to my first painting class about two years ago and had no idea I would like it so much. It's never too late to learn something new. -- May

Singing is my passion and I've been a professional singer most of my life. I started the acting and singing group to encourage self-esteem in others, build confidence, and see them grow. We have a ball!
-- Estelle
