Events!

The Events! program fulfills one of the Center’s guiding values: “Recognizing the significant health benefits of remaining active and avoiding social isolation.” What better way to put this value into action than by getting together? There’s a lot to do in RVA: museums, restaurants, wineries, plays, exhibits, historical sites, breweries, music, sporting events, and more. Plus, the Center also shows movies in their multi-purpose room for FREE.

Events are for members and volunteers – bring a guest! Membership is only $25. You can become a member here. Enter your email here to get announcements about coming events. And if you enjoy planning events, join our Events! committee. Contact the office at 804-355-7282 or tscor@tscor.org.
