The Murray Senior Recreation Center is a happening place. We have a little bit of everything for everyone. We are
fortunate to have such a nice Center for the residents of our community to utilize. My hope is that more Murray
residents will take the opportunity to use our facility and programs. Our vision has always been to create a healthy and
happy environment. Our primary goal is to provide programs within our community that are accessible to you. One of
the main benefits is that this will help you keep active as you get older. By keeping active, both mentally and
physically, you stay stronger which helps support independent living. Another benefit is being able to socialize and
form friendships with others. That social interaction and stimulation gives you the chance to get involved in the
community. This is a huge need that is underestimated in seniors. Our Center can provide contact with others through
all sorts of programs and activities which can be both mentally and physically stimulating. Within this newsletter there
are many activities listed to help you in that process.
We will also be conducting a survey over the next several weeks starting October 1 to identify ways we can improve
and better serve our senior community. Please take the time to complete this important survey. Your input is valuable
to us as we move forward in making changes to improve your overall experience at the Center. We
hope you will take advantage of these programs by visiting the Murray Senior Recreation Center and
participating. I am positive that it will enhance your quality of life! – Cory Plant, Director
MCReg.com We are now offering the
additional option to register online
for classes, services, and some trips.

and most important in a series of prophets, including
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. The holy book of Islam is the
Quran, which means "the timeless words of God." The
core practices are known as the Five Pillars -- daily prayer,
faith, fasting, pilgrimage, and alms giving.
