(Center for Active Seniors, Inc.)

By CASI
CASI Center for Active Seniors

An annual membership to CASI is only $30.00 a year. That is less than $3.00 a month to belong to a premier activity center. It is one of only a few nationwide that is nationally accredited.

What can you do at CASI? There are Yoga, Zumba, Low-impact exercise, Line dancing, Shuffle board, Billiards and Tai Chi groups or classes to keep you physically fit. Book clubs, Movies, Cards and BINGO are all enjoyed. Classes in painting, ceramics, knitting and other crafts take place at CASI. Choral, instrumental and theater groups all take
place here.

CASI also offers a variety of support groups to help the people of the Quad Cities to cope with whatever they are dealing with. Caring and sharing is very important to the members.

Day trips and luncheon activities are a big hit with the members. Some trips are just a few hours and go to a local venue like museum, point of interest or park, with a meal at a local eatery or longer trips to Wrigley Field for a game.

Do I have to be a member to come to CASI? CASI is open to anyone and you can participate in almost everything without joining. However, the cost for the various activities is higher for non-members. So if you participate in many things it is to your advantage to join.

CASI does have some member-only perks. They offer a computer room for members only and a fully equipped gym/exercise area that is member only.

One of the most important things CASI offers is friendship and socialization. There is a cafe there open mornings for that cup of coffee with friends. Breakfast and lunch specialties are also available.

If you are already a member, it is time to renew your membership for 2019/2020.

Don’t forget about the Membership Picnic. Call (563) 386-7477
