Ready for the Holiday Season?Do You Need a Wellness Budget?
With the holiday season approaching we each need a “wellness budget”. Consider the activities you engage in within each of the wellness wheel categories. Are you overspending, under spending? The goal is to create a balanced, harmonious budget. If you are tired in one area, it ultimately depletes all the areas - there is lack of balance.

Support the Senior Center you love. Join your Los Alamos Senior Activity Centers this month and next in celebrating Giving Tuesday and Year End Giving.

Director’s Corner 2023
Four months and looking froward. Before I left on my fabulous trip to Norway, many jokingly (or maybe not) asked, “you're coming back, right?” While I’ll admit I used Norway to not think about work, I was excited to come back and continue the work of rebuilding, rebranding and making our Senior Activity Centers a hub for all seniors in Los Alamos and White Rock.

Why I Volunteer
Hi all, Pat Cruz here. I have been volunteering at the Los Alamos and White Rock Senior Centers for the past 4 years, give or take, not including the crazy Covid shutdown time. I have served in the dining rooms, collected money for lunches, served as a front desk receptionist, delivered lunches, helped during the High School band concerts, Festival of Trees and most recently worked in our Day Out program.
