Vernon Hills senior organization

Village officials are reminding seniors that any resident of Vernon Hills over 55 is eligible for membership in the Vernon Hills Senior Organization, which was established by ordinance in 1995. The purpose of the organization is to provide a social forum for seniors to associate with their peers and engage in recreational, social and public service activities. The group meets in the Senior Center at village hall, 290 Evergreen Drive. The facility has a library, computers with Internet capability, pool tables, television, and a kitchen. Members meet regularly to play bridge, pinochle and Mah Jong, as well as watch movies, celebrate birthdays and holidays. Weekly activities include line dancing, senior fitness groups, bingo and a book club. Special activities, speakers and events are always on the calendar. Anyone interested in membership should call Svea Tracy at (847) 680-6392.
