Social Opportunities with HEART
Our social activities and luncheons encourage connection and conversation. Former relationships are rekindled and new relationships are formed. From our happy hours to plays at Toby’s Dinner Theater and concerts at The Strathmore, members are connecting and enjoying each other’s company. It is important for all of us to maintain these connections; it boosts social and emotional health. HEART continues to connect people, and we are always open to suggestions for future activities that are of interest to our members. While happy hours are open only to HEART members, other social events are always open to members, their families, and friends. Reservations are required. Events often sell out, so members are encouraged to register early!
