Now that COVID restrictions have lifted, Middle Township residents are ready to get back to normal. Businesses are open, restaurants are serving, sports are in full swing, and indoor recreational activities are about to join the mix.
The Samuel De Vico Senior Center on West Romney Place in Cape May Court House has been offering outdoor-only activities since last fall. But that’s about to change. On Tuesday, July 6, the Township’s senior center will host a “Welcome Back” event from 12 p.m. – 2 p.m. Members, community, and friends are invited to stop in and meet with members of the Senior Advisory board, Mayor Tim Donohue, and Committeeman Jim Norris. Refreshments and takeaways will be provided.
This event also marks the relaunch of the center’s full schedule of events and activities, including Chair yoga, Zumba, Cardio Sit & Fit, line dancing, Tai Chi, and Move & Groove. More leisurely activities such as card games, art classes, Bingo, and health and wellness presentations are also returning. Printed monthly schedules will be available as well as signup sheets for any upcoming events requiring pre-registration. Annual memberships are available for $6.
“I am constantly working to fill the calendar with new and exciting activities and programs that are enjoyable, educational, relaxing, and engaging for the seniors,” said senior center director Marilyn Miller.
“We are so excited get the De Vico Senior Center fully up and running for our seniors again,” Mayor Tim Donohue said. “Director Marilyn Miller has done a great job keeping everyone engaged and the outdoor classes in recent weeks have been great to see. We have had an opportunity to spruce up the building interior and look forward to seeing the space buzzing again!”
Committeeman Jim Norris, who oversees the Recreation Department, also had praise for Miller.
“Marilyn has done such a great job for our seniors during the pandemic, but everyone is chomping at the bit to get back in the building. We can’t wait to see everyone safely back in action at our facility again!”
The center’s outdoor classes, which became popular during the COVID-related closure, will continue through the summer and into fall, weather permitting.
