Social Ping Pong
Have fun and get your heart pumping at the Ethel Hart Center with ping pong! Joe McCormick, leader of the Duplicate Bridge group and the Bicycling group has generously donated a table for use by center participants. Ping pong, also called table tennis, is a fun way to strengthen your hand-eye coordination. This Olympic sport is known world-wide and is gaining speed in the United States. The game features light balls and paddles and is easy to learn. Ping pong balls will fly every Thursday from 12:30-2:00pm and it will be sure to be amusing. Sign up in advance or drop in to watch the game.
