Activities and Events Schedule
The goal of Thrive is to keep our neighbors socially connected while living independently in their homes. We all deserve the opportunity to age where we wish, and Thrive activities and events are designed to keep you engaged, meeting new people, staying active, and learning new things. If you’re looking for things to do or worried about isolation, we are here for you! Check out our calendar and the additional details on this page, and if you have ideas for other activities you’d like to attend or even lead, just let us know!

November 17, 2025: Hand and Foot Card Game
What is Hand & Foot?
No, it’s not a medical term or a fitness class—it’s a classic, easy-to-learn card game that’s both social and engaging. Hand & Foot is played with multiple decks of cards and shares similarities with Canasta. It’s perfect for groups and offers a great mix of strategy, teamwork, and luck.
Whether you’re an experienced player or completely new to the game, you’re invited to join us. Come to play or simply observe and learn—new players are always welcome.
Schedule: 1st & 3rd Monday of each month
Time: 12:00–2:30 PM
Location: Stillwater
Cost: Free for Connect & Enrich members, $5 for Intro participants and guests
Pull up a chair and discover why Hand & Foot has become a favorite among our community.
