of the class.
Listen & Lunch
The Senior Center will host Listen & Lunch on Thursday, Apr. 12 from

from the Very Special Arts program. The organization supports the arts
by hiring artists to teach children with disabilities. Ms. Marusina will
be discussing the goals and needs of their group. Bring your sack lunch,
enjoy free coffee, and become more informed.
Yoga takes a two-week break
Yoga teacher Tara Stiles will be in Australia for two weeks: March 29-
April 17 when there will be no Gentle Yoga, Chair Yoga or Tai Chi classes.
Survey for Caring Neighbors Project
The Senior Center is joining with the city of Sacramento to create the
Caring Neighbors Project in Curtis Park. The purpose of the project is
to create a group of volunteers from our own neighborhood who will be
available to assist seniors in Curtis Park with things such as small household
jobs, a ride to the doctor's office, or check-in phone calls. An initial
canvassing of neighborhoods to meet seniors with such needs and potential
volunteers will be conducted by college students during April. The students
will carry ID's. For more information, please call Janice at 455-6339.
