Senior Discovery Group Summer Internship

Save to Favorites

The Senior Discovery Group of Allen Neighborhood Center has been meeting for the last sixteen years for "pretty good coffee and great conversation." The group meets every Wednesday from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at the Allen Market Place on Lansing’s Eastside. This is a lively group of seniors who look forward to coffee, treats, and a presentation by a different speaker each week. Topics addressed by guest speakers range from music, culture, weather, life stories, neighborhood building, health, gardening, and more!
