Senior Center Activities Update
Spring has been busy in the lower level of City Hall, i.e. the Senior Center. Several new events
and annual program favorites were held. All were a great success.
. EnhanceFitness@ - This is an evidence-based fitness program offered by UCARE of
Minnesota. The class is lead by an EnhanceFitness trained certified personal trainer.
The first session began in mid-April with 17 participants and an additional 10 people
on a waiting list.
. "A Chanhassen Celebration of History and the Arts" was held on Sunday, May 18th
at the old St Hubert's Church and the old Village Hall Plaza. Over 300 people attended
and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of great food and musical entertainment.
. Breakfast with the Mayor was attended by 50+ people. This is a favorite event as
people love to hear firsthand about what is new in Chanhassen and have the
opportunity to interact with Mayor Furlong.
. Human on a Stick Tour (Segway Tour): In June, 22 excited seniors boarded a bus
and headed to northeast Minneapolis to ride a Segway. The group was accompanied by
a professional guide that led them on a several mile ride along the northeast and
Downtown Historic Minneapolis Riverfront area.
. Lake Ann Picnic: Once again the Chanhassen Lion's Club sponsored our annual
picnic. This year we had the biggest crowd ever with 115 people attending. We even
managed to have a nice sunny afternoon.
. Nintendo Wii Demonstration was attended by 25 people with many anticipating
learning more and playing in a bowling and golf league.

www.ci.chanhassenmn.us A new program I will be introducing at the end of June is Donuts with the Deputies.
This will be a time where people can come and share a cup of coffee and have donuts and
casual conversation with the Chanhassen's Sheriff Deputies.
As I have seen many new faces at several of the spring events, I developed a welcome letter
that highlights Senior Center activities, classes and events and will be given to people at
upcoming events.
The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
