ZEPHYRHILLS - In June, the city's largest senior center moved to new digs.

Now, Community Aging & Retirement Services wants to you to come check it out.

The center is hosting an open house from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday at its quarters in Community Chapel Church of God, 5320 First St. Rock and Soul Caterers is providing the food.

The event offers a chance to meet class instructors, see displays of their work, sign up for their classes or volunteer to teach one.

Classes include sign language for beginners; knitting, crochet and macrame; and a writers' group called Wordcrafters. Regular winter courses include pine needle basket making, one-stroke painting, computers, needle tatting and Spanish.
Volunteer instructors are needed for beaded jewelry, line dancing, ballroom dancing, woodcarving and woodburning.

The center also needs a part-time receptionist and kitchen volunteers for Friday night bingo, which is still held at the former CARES location at 4645 Airport Road.
