ACC Celebrates 50 Years!
In 1970, a group of citizens gathered together to create a place where
they could socialize and connect. They were so excited
about the prospect they set the age at 50 so they could
all join! A student intern from our Parks and Recreation
Department was tasked with working with these citizens,
the City Finance Director wrote a grant and a home in
First Addition was purchased to serve as the first Center.
Fast forward 50 years and the ACC is the only nationally
accredited center in Oregon, has received national awards
and remains the vibrant, welcoming place the founders envisioned.

Healthy Aging
Consistent physical activity is extremely beneficial to mind and body wellness
as well as longevity. Long term studies show that physical activity can
prevent many of the health problems that may come with age. Based on

the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services CDC, older adults should
do two types of physical activity each week - aerobic and muscle training.
Recommended Aerobic Activity
Moderate intensity – 150 minutes per week
Vigorous intensity – 75 minutes per week
Recommended Muscle Strengthening Activity
2 or more days a week
Health Benefits
The health benefits of a regular and dedicated fitness routine are
