Focus Fox Valley features a detailed update from the Mary Beth Neenhouse Activity Center on their vibrant April programming and upcoming spring trips. Host Haley Tenpass welcomes Courtney Ozenroth, program coordinator, and Terry Fraze, fund development director, who highlight a range of engaging activities including Chef Shelley’s Fishy Friday cooking demo, the New Voices Choir at Memory Cafe, and the new Empowered by Movement class for individuals with Parkinson’s or movement disorders. The center also promotes upcoming trips to the Fireside Theater for Hairspray, an Amish tradition tour, and a major overnight trip to Ship Shawana, all of which include transportation, meals, and gratuity. Additional offerings include a return of the Fused Glass class, a free diabetes education series, and a microgreens cooking workshop. The episode emphasizes the center’s nonprofit status and reliance on community support, spotlighting Volunteer Appreciation Month and a community volunteer fair on April 24th. The hosts encourage listeners to visit the center, especially for seniors seeking connection and enrichment.
The Mary Beth Neenhouse Activity Center offers free, accessible programs like Empowered by Movement and diabetes education, open to all regardless of membership.
Upcoming trips include Broadway shows, Amish cultural tours, and an overnight adventure to Ship Shawana, all with inclusive pricing and full inclusions.
The center relies entirely on community donations and volunteers—over 190 volunteers contributed 8,500 hours last year—and invites public support through giving or volunteering.
The April 24th Community Volunteer Fair brings together 10+ local organizations to connect volunteers with meaningful opportunities.
Listeners are encouraged to visit the center, especially for seniors or caregivers seeking social engagement and meaningful activities.
