The following groups and projects are currently under the "umbrella" of the Rogers-Hassan Senior Friendship Planning Committee.  All seniors who are 55 or older are welcome to participate in the activities.

The Jammers are a group of retired musicians that come together on the first Sunday afternoon of each month at the Rogers Community Center to play for their own enjoyment and to entertain anyone that wants to attend.   A pot luck supper is shared and is open to all who want to share a dish and/or contribute to cover expenses.

The Senior Newsletter is published the last week of each month for area seniors.  Call
763-428-7657 if you would like a monthly newsletter mailed to you.

The Rogers Area Senior Wellness Group meets every Thursday from 1:30 - 3:00pm usually at Word of Peace Lutheran Church (located at 21705 - 129th Avenue North).  This group helps seniors stay informed and independent by maintaining balance, strength and mobility, to enjoy the company of other seniors, celebrate birthdays, and relaxation.  The group is geared to men and women and there is no charge for participation.  Free blood pressure checks are done the 3rd Thursday of each month, twice monthly programs with information pertinent to seniors, exercises done under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist every week.  This group has been meeting weekly since October of 2006.  It is fun as well as beneficial.  Call 763-428-3418 for more information.

Water aerobics meets at the Hampton Inn on Mondays between 8:00am and 2:00pm.  There is a $2.50 charge for use of the pool, changing room and a towel.

Card Recycling is a fund raising project that recycles donated and used cards for resale along with getting acquainted with local seniors.  No special knowledge or talent is needed, just a desire to help.  The group meets every Monday at the Autumn Trails Senior Housing community room (129th Avenue in Rogers) at 1pm.  Watch the newsletter for further information and dates.  Call Mary Lou at 763-657-1432 or Elsie at 763-428-1131 with any questions.

There is a marked receptacle in the outer entrance for you to drop off any used cards (including holidays and childrens).  Please do not cut cards apart, but do remove any loose notes or pictures that might be left in them.  We appreciate your donations!

The Senior Shop Rogers Bus arrives every Thursday at the Senior Community Living Buildings at 10:00am.  The bus makes a circular route that picks up people who need to pick up groceries, get prescriptions filled, get a haircut, and do a little shopping.  The cost is currently $2 for the rider and $2 is subsidized by the Rogers Lions.  Volunteers are on the bus for assistance.  Questions?  Please contact Judy Hanson at (763) 428-7657.

The Rogers-Hassan Senior Friendship Center is located at 25000 Hassan Parkway at the intersection of Hassan Parkway and Territorial Road.  Currently the building is used for Advisory Commission meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 2:00pm and it is open to all interested residents of both Rogers and Hassan. If you have ideas, requests or suggestions for programs/events please bring them to the Advisory Commission meetings.  If you would like to lead a program or class, bring that to this group as well.
