Age diminishes neither one's interest in the performing arts, the need to utilize skills in those areas, nor the desire to serve the community. Project Joy provides the forum for those 50+ years to use and enhance talents or develop previously undiscovered abilities in music, dance, and drama. In turn, our groups furnish entertainment for convalescent centers and retirement apartments as well as fraternal and civic organizations and special events. It's fun! It's creative! It's useful! Call Project Joy (535-0584) to see how you can fit into our family.
