New 'FunDay Monday' Schedule for North Hempstead Seniors

In July, North Hempstead seniors can once again take part in the town's free FunDay Monday program at North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington.  

On Mondays from July 7 to August 25, the program runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and features a different theme each week. Organized by the Town’s Department of Community Services, the program has been tradition for local seniors for decades. 

“FunDay Monday is a fantastic series of events that allows our senior residents to see both new and familiar faces,” said Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “Residents are able to have a lovely time at the beach, while enjoying entertainment and fun activities.”

 Each week, senior residents can take advantage of entertainment, fitness, games, music, and dancing. The weekly class schedule also features line dancing from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., yoga from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and mahjong from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.. In addition, FunDay Monday offers photo shoot hours from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. with photos being available to download at: www.NorthHempsteadNY.gov/FunDayMonday.
