Get ready to pour some paint, drip it, dip it, tilt it, and let gravity do its magic—let’s get a little messy! In this fun, hands-on Paint Pouring Workshop, led by our own Edith Hardaway, you’ll explore what you can do with acrylic paint, With a no-fear approach to creativity, there are no mistakes—just movement, color, and surprises that evolve on your canvas.

Get Moving In March With the AYMC
To help members and friends turn inspiration into action, the AYMC and our Engaged Aging Ministry will be offering a free 4-week Get Moving in March series, with each week highlighting a different form of movement—from chair yoga and mobility work to strength training and muscle building, always with a splash of cardio. Each class is designed with beginners in mind and focuses on building confidence, improving balance and flexibility, supporting joint health, and increasing overall stamina. Exercises can always be modified to be more gentle or more challenging. This series will begin on Tuesday, March 10th from 10am – 11am and will run for the remaining Tuesdays in March. Wear your comfy workout clothes and sneakers, bring a bottle of water, and join us at the AYMC
