The Golden Tones

Do you enjoy singing?   The Golden Tones may be resuming after their pandemic hiatus.  They practice one day a week, and perform at various senior living facilities. Please contact Mary Ann at  301-371-7533 if interested.

Bocce!

SRC Bocce has use of the courts in Baker Park every Friday morning, 9-noon.  A host from the Bocce Club will be there to help with equipment and grooming of the courts.

Have You Ever Tried Duckpin Bowling?

"If you’ve never tried duckpin bowling, consider giving it a try.  We don’t play in teams, we  just bowl along with everybody else. We’re all amateurs, though once in a while someone just can’t help bowling like a champ: like this past January, when Susan had 4 strikes in a row! Wow! There she is, front and center in a black diamond vest."



About Rick

Rick Reid has been our SRC exercise instructor for several months. He continues to find ways to challenge us with new cardio moves and strength training exercises.  

Rick has been interested in fitness since his mid-thirties when he began running 10K races, and completed a marathon at 38.   When he developed osteoarthritis in both knees he started working out in a gym setting to maintain his cardio health while increasing total body strength through weight training.  Upon retirement at 57 Rick pursued  certification as a personal trainer, and has been training individuals from the teens up through the nineties.    He truly enjoys what he does, and now as a 67-year-old grandfather of 3 has an even greater incentive to stay physically and mentally fit.
