Welcome to a vibrant month of May at the Patrick Henry Hays Senior Center! As we move further into spring, it's a wonderful time to refresh your routines, stay active, and enjoy all the ways our community comes together!
April was full of great moments - from celebrating National Volunteer Week and being featured on KARK-TV to our gardeners sharing tomato plants and more. It was a fun, memorable month for all!
Looking forward, we are especially excited for our upcoming Spring into Wellness Health Fair - what a great opportunity to focus on your health, discover new resources, and connect with others.
As always, our team is dedicated to creating a welcoming, engaging space for everyone. Thank you for being such an important part of the Hays Center community.
