We will look at easy walks (one- to three-miles, flat) in nine of the most beautiful parks in or close to Naples.  Along the way, we will discuss the flora and fauna and even bits of history.  This presentation covers Audubon Corkscrew Swamp, Lovers Key State Park, Gordon River Greenway, Freedom Park, Naples Preserve, Rookery Bay - Shell Island, Ten Thousand Islands, and Eagle Lakes.

Great Dames
Thursday March 5 at 6:00 PM
The Great Dames are a local singing group made up of members of the Naples Woman’s Club. Performing pop music favorites from Broadway to Motown, audiences will be singing, clapping, and dancing along to their memorable selections!

Intro to Belly Dancing
Thursday, March 12 at 1:30 PM
Curious about belly dancing? This beginner-friendly class is designed especially for seniors and focuses on gentle movements, balance, flexibility, and fun. You’ll learn simple steps at a comfortable pace while enjoying upbeat music in a welcoming environment. No experience needed. Come ready to move, laugh, and try something new.
