Last Monday Lectures

On the last Monday of each month, Marty Gelman sponsors a speaker of special interest to our senior community at 4:30 in the Fireside Room. Residents are welcome to recommend topics and speakers.

Art in the Park  

An organization of artists in the Park spearheaded by Suzie Lahr that promotes community artists with ongoing exhibits in the Marin Valley Gallery in the clubhouse for resident artists to show and sell their work.

Biography Night

Biography Night is a social event designed for residents to get to know each other better by listening to and telling stories from our lives. Biography is the art of reflecting upon, organizing, and interpreting the events of a lifetime. The process of choosing which story to tell can lead to new insights into one’s own life. Listening to another’s story often engenders awe, wonder, and gratitude for the developments of a full life.

Book Club  

On the 4th Wednesday of the month at 4:30 pm book club members meet either at a participant’s home or in the Fireside Room to discuss the book selected by the club the previous month.

Park Market

Four days a week, food from Extra Food is either delivered or picked up by resident volunteers, sorted, distributed to the house-bound, and assembled for residents to select from tables in the breezeway. A notice of the available food to select from is usually sent to residents for eight weekly deliveries.

Rollin’ Root

On Thursday mornings from 11 am to Noon, the Farmers Market visits with a refrigerated truck of local farmers’ organic, inorganic, and sustainable food to purchase.

Group Strength Training

On Sunday, 12–1 pm, bring your weights, stretch bands, and a water bottle, for an hour of gentle functional strength training for seniors with Nan Watanabe. Not just for athletes, strength training is essential for healthy aging. e We aturally lose muscle mass and strength as we age, called sarcopenia. This decline can lead to weakness, balance issues, and an increased risk of falls. Strength training slows this process, helping seniors maintain independence and vitality. Studies show that adults who regularly engage in resistance training preserve muscle, bone health, and confidence in movement. $15/session monthly ($20 drop-ins)

Dancing

On Saturdays, residents dance for about an hour and a half in the meadow, on the deck, or in the ballroom to the sounds of our local DJs. The time is determined by the season, the day, and the DJ,  and everyone on the dance list is notified when and where it will take place. Ask Steve Plocher or David Tetta to be put on the Meadown Dance Group mailing list.
