If you're a senior living in Cincinnati, you probably know there are a lot of activities for you to do — with friends, with your family, with the grandkids or just on your own — as the weather warms up. 

One of the most special benefits of living at Marjorie P. Lee is a robust monthly calendar of activities that seniors can participate in. Some are group activities or classes on premises. Some are off-campus outings. Others are come-as-you-wish daily opportunities to socialize and engage with peers.

Here are just some of the activities scheduled for our residents this month.

Rainy day cash burning a hole in your pocket? Need groceries? Just want to hit Starbucks and enjoy a latte? You're in luck. Every Monday and Thursday we make an outing to Hyde Park Plaza for a bit of shopping. The group will meet in the Victoria Lobby.

It's Opening Day for the Cincinnati Reds! If you're from the Tristate area, you know that Opening Day is probably the biggest unofficial holiday of the year for Cincinnatians.

We'll be throwing a party and showing the game on TV down in the Event Center. Feel free to come watch with other residents and enjoy the start of the new Major League Baseball season, as the Reds take on the Philadelphia Phillies at 4:10 p.m..
