Sioux City Lions support Active Generations in donating  to support the cost of our Inhanced Fitnes Program. Thank you  Lion Club for your support. Members, join us for this evidence-based group falls prevention and physical activity program developed specifically for older adults. The exercises have been packaged into a formal regimen focusing on four key areas important to the health and fitness of mature participants: low impact cardiovascular; dynamic/static balance work, strength training and stretching. See you There!

Members, join the "Lap Dawgs", and walk laps here at Active Generations. Do you know how far a lap is? Do you know how many step are in a lap? Do you know how many calories you burn by walking a lap? Come check out our "Walk this Way" program and find out about the health benefits

Ugly Sweaters? All quite beautiful! Still, there needs to be a winner...

We thank Center members Martha Milhan & Nancy Means (shown in photo) and Elaine McCuddin for their knitted and crocheted donations of hats, mittens, scarves, afghans and headbands. 153 items will be divided and donated to: Jackson Recovery, Radiant Life Church and The Warming Shelter.

We thank Center members for their generous donation of nonperishable food items. This collection will be shared with those in need in the tri state area.

Great minds think alike! No, this isn't Black and Red Day at the Center-but they do look sharp!
