The Bluffton Senior Center is canceling all planned actives for the week of December 7, according to Tonya Meyer, director.

This includes exercise class, line dance class, jam session and dominos.

The Senior Center will still be open for shopping and members to pick up library materials and other one on one services.

"Hopefully, activities can be offered again soon but we will be making decisions on a week by week basis. The governor has asked everyone to stay home except for necessities," said Meyer.
