TRANSPORTATION

Transportation to and from the Center is provided Monday through Friday. You must make reservations by 1 pm the business day before by calling 972-292- 6550 or by signing up at the Center. This service operates only within the City of Frisco boundaries. Currently, there are two scheduled pickups. For patrons who reside in West Frisco, the pickup is usually between 7:30 and 9:15 am. For folks residing in East Frisco, the pickup is generally between 9:15 and 10 am. Most days, two return trips are available. The first one usually leaves at 1 pm and the second one, if needed, departs at 3:30 pm. Participants must be able to independently board the vehicle. If you need to cancel a pickup, please call 972-292- 6550. If it is after hours, please leave a message.

DAILY MEALS AT THE FRIENDSHIP CAFÉ

Every weekday at 11:30 am, a nutritious and delicious lunch is served restaurant-style by a smiling Friendship Café representative at a beautifully-decorated table in The Heritage Room at the Senior Center. Reservations must be made by 1 pm the business day before by calling 972-292-6550 or by signing up at the Center. Seniors are asked to give a donation of $5.00 per meal. However, no one is denied a meal due to the inability to pay. New members are asked to fill out a form before you sign up for lunch. A monthly menu is available at the front desk. Come and join us for lunch and meet some new friends!

NEWSLETTERS

The monthly newsletter details all of our special events, activities, classes, and trips. It also contains a wealth of other information. The newsletter is available on the 20th of the prior month. You may pick it up at the Center or view it online at www.FriscoFun.org (click on the Senior Center link)

THE HEALTH ROOM

We have an equipped health room where minor medical testing and services take place. Some of the services offered are blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol checks and the Wellness Center performs various blood tests and a few medical services including nail trimming and ear cleaning. We offer flu shots in the fall and other vendors visit our facility from time to time to offer other services. We also have a hair stylist and a massage therapist who visit the Center monthly and perform wonderful services for the patrons for a very reasonable fee.

THE AEROBIC AND DANCE STUDIO

If you want to get fit in a class environment, this is the place to come. We offer aerobics, chair exercise, yoga, strength, core and balance, tai chi, and other fitness classes. For the folks with the dancing shoes, you will find western, salsa, swing, and other types of dance instruction.

THE CRAFT ROOM

Pick up a brush in the morning and walk out with a completed oil or watercolor painting a few hours later. Or, use your artistic ability and take part in our ceramics class. We have a kiln onsite and will fire your masterpiece for you. If a needle and thread is more to your suiting, we have three sewing machines to meet your every stitching need, and you can spread out and work on your project after class. These are just a few of the types of classes offered regularly at the Center. 

THE FITNESS CENTER

Our state-of-the-art facility is awaiting you. However, there are a few policies we’d like you to follow. Proper attire and athletic footwear are required. No outside personal trainers are permitted. Inquire at the front desk if you are interested in a personal trainer. After utilizing a piece of equipment, using the available gym wipes, wipe down the equipment so it is ready for the next person. If you are unsure about how to use any of the equipment, please sign up for a free equipment orientation class at the front desk. Be courteous to your fellow Seniors. If others are waiting, please limit your use of each type of equipment to 30 minutes. The room is set up with two LCD televisions outfitted with Dish Network. The sound on the TV can be heard on the treadmills, ellipticals, and recumbent bikes via earplugs (like those used with MP3 players). As to the use of the television remote, please see the staff for the proper way to use it because it isn’t like the one you have at home.

THE COMPUTER ROOM

The computer room is open for use during normal facility hours unless a computer class is scheduled. It has Internet capability and a laser printer. If you don’t know how to use a computer we have volunteers that would love to teach you the basics.
