So far this year the ACCD Baobab Senior Circle has served 38 individuals! Mike has been coming to Baobab for a couple of years.

"I really enjoy the biweekly meetings. It’s educational - learning about different traditions and new foods. [I would tell others] there is something interesting to learn here, and this is something you would enjoy."

Learning is a life-long passion for many older adults like Mike. Baobab is honored to keep opening doors, discovering new things together, and broadening horizons for the seniors in our community!
