Life is a continuing journey, with never-ending opportunities to learn, give, and grow.
If you are an adult, 55 years of age or older, who agrees with this statement, then come to The BRIDGE at the Mason Community Center. With its myriad classes, activities, and opportunities, it's just the place for you to enjoy and meet other like-minded souls.
The BRIDGE was designed to meet the cultural, recreational, educational, physical, and social needs of adults age 55 and over. Although age is a common denominator, we recognize the diversity of needs among our members and strive to offer programs in a variety of fields for active, moderately active, and disabled adults.
Watch for the most recent schedule of activities in The Map, the bi-monthly newsletter for The BRIDGE. This month's activities are also listed on the
