(Bel Air, MD – April 3, 2009) – – Over the years, Harford County’s six Senior Activity Centers have taken on the characteristics of being more than just places for seniors to gather. Instead, they’ve become centers of extended learning, hallways of health, classrooms of recreation and a haven for wonderful friendships.
Whether you enjoy dancing or quilting, basket weaving or painting, woodshop or traveling, computers or cards, memoir writing or study of the Civil War…the opportunity to expand your horizons is always available. And what better way to make new friends than to engage in conversation over lunch.
Highlight on McFaul Activities Center in Bel Air
During session, McFaul welcomes approximately 1,400 – 1,600 people on a weekly basis. Seniors come to enjoy fine arts, art/crafts, computer, photography, dance and exercise classes. McFaul also offers discussion groups, a Welcome Club, Book Club, Current Events and Memoir Writing. Bocce Ball and Horseshoes are also an extremely popular pastime; or try your hand at Open Cards or Mah-jongg. McFaul also features live entertainment, movies, and Wii play. “Active Activities” are held in the gym every afternoon, which do not require advance registration. A daily hot lunch is served in the MAC Café.

Representatives from the Senior Activity Centers in Aberdeen, Havre de Grace and Edgewood participated, and 18 players in all competed. Thirty people attended a continental breakfast and enjoyed the tournament. A special thanks to McFaul Activities Center’s own Rick Selander for organizing the event along with Center Manager Andrea Pomilla and Assistant Manager Linda Myers, and to the MAC Senior Center for purchasing the trophy. Coming in first place was Tom Conway and second place winner was Mac Campbell.
Do any of the Harford County Senior Centers offer dancing on Saturdays or evenings. I still work. Thanks
