F.A.Q.

Art Class                                                             Saturdays @ 10:30 a.m.
What better way to spend a Saturday morning than to take an Art Class!! Rose Crane, a senior volunteer with her master's degree in fine art, is available for instruction or just help seniors of any artistic level or background in pencils, ink, oil and more.

Bingo                                                                        Saturdays / Sundays
Aside from all-day Bingo on the weekends, we sometimes offer “Special Bingo” on selected weekdays, after lunch. We are always in need of loud and clear callers to happily volunteer their time. Play is only two cents a card!

Supervised Bridge                                            Tuesdays @ 10:00 a.m.
"Bridge Masters" Marge Bueschen and Peg McGinnis lead the discussions with players adding their comments. New members are accepted on a pre-arranged basis, according to space and level of ability. The lessons are geared to former players and those with knowledge of bridge; then players are weaned to more advanced groups outside this setting. (September to June only)

The format is play of pre-arranged hands followed by a brief discussion of how the bidding, play and defense should have gone. Time permitting, open hands are also played and a brief discussion follows each hand. Since this is Supervised Bridge, everyone must adhere to certain guidelines, e.g.: 13 points with 5-card major or better minor to open, 16-18 point no trump opener, 7-card pre-empt; weak 2's, blackwood, etc.

Ceramics Wednesdays @ 9:30 a.m.
Ceramics specialist, Mary Casselli, supervises this weekly class and provides instructions, molds and paints (for a nominal fee).

Conversational Spanish 2nd & 4th Wednesday @ 11:00 AM
Would you like to converse in Spanish? Come and learn in a casual group setting. This program is free and instructed by Senior Center Volunteer Daisy Santana.

Crochet Club                                                                                                                   Saturdays @ 1:30 p.m.
People who crochet can now gather to meet new people, learn more about this wonderful fiber art form, and share their love and dedication to the art and craft of crochet. Kay Lampe has volunteered to lead this group aptly named ‘The Happy Hookers.’

Game Show                                                                                                                      Fridays @ 11:00 a.m.
The popular television game show, ‘Wheel of Fortune’ has now become the popular game for the seniors in Fair Lawn. This fun and exciting game promotes humor, creativity, camaraderie, and lots of surprises from its participants. Move over Vanna White - our volunteer, Dot Donohue, plays the "hostess with the mostest" - feel free to join in!

Three out of four doctors agree: Laughter is the best medicine! Funny gal (and Senior Center Director) Karin Hodos runs the Senior Center's improv comedy troupe, "Falling Down Funny." Improv, short for improvisation, is the art of ad-libs. Each meeting includes different warm-up activities and games; join us for "spur-of-the-moment" fun!!!

Mah Jongg                                                                                                                  Thursdays @ 12:30 p.m.
Do you know what these words have in common: flowers, bams, dots and craks? If you do, then you know Mah Jongg! This ancient Chinese game comes to the Fair Lawn Senior Center every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. This is a self sustaining program so you can watch, learn and play.

Monday Movies Mondays @ 1:15 p.m.
Feature films are shown often on our brand new 57” projection screen television and dual DVD/VCR, generously donated by the Maxell Corporation of Fair Lawn. New releases, favorite movies, travelogs, as well as films of an educational and informational nature are shown. Suggestions for movie titles or themes are always welcome. Requests and recommendations are collected by volunteer Florence Stern.

Come meet new people, learn about others and their lives, and let them know about your life experiences. The social and interactive discussion group is lead by volunteer, Cynthia Blauschild. Each meeting there is a new topic to chat about!

Speakers
The Fair Lawn Senior Center wants to keep its participants informed and educated on the latest health and general topics pertinent to their lifestyles. We therefore provide professionals for lecture and discussion at least once a month. These lectures are always free of charge and open to the public.

Workshops
Several times during the year some one-day craft classes are offered, such as ‘Pressed Flowers Workshop’, ‘Creative Floral Design’, and our very popular ‘Pinecone Pandemonium.’ All classes are free of charge and anyone is welcome to watch and/or participate.
