So the daytime temperature hasn’t dropped below 90 degrees in recent weeks and the forecast isn’t showing any reprieve in sight. This may leave you running out of ideas for things to do that involve air conditioning! Fortunately, Charleston has a wonderful senior center with plenty of indoor offerings to keep you cool. The Lowcountry Senior Center’s mission is to empower seniors ages 50+ “for personal independence, healthy aging, social connection and life-long learning in the Lowcountry.” With everything from fitness classes, bridge, shag lessons and dances, educational opportunities and more, there is something for any interest. Study after study has shown that having a strong social circle can lower your risk for depression and increase mortality, and the senior center is a great place to meet new people who share similar interests. Retirement is a great time to pick up a long lost hobby or try something new, so step outside of your comfort zone and give that Zumba class or bridge game a chance.
