Prime Timers

Prime Timers is a group for active adults, ages 55 and over. Together they take day trips to regional attractions, restaurants, and other special events. 

The group travels by Coach Bus. Each trip is designed for the maximum comfort and interest of all participants. A group meets monthly to plan upcoming events. 

Dues are $10/year. To join Prime Timers, please contact Rachel Saller, Senior Programming Coordinator, at rachel@federationonline.org or (219) 301-0960. 
A great day at the Morton Arboretum on October 24, 2019! The tram ride was educational, the food was great, the views were beautiful, and everyone had a wonderful time together
