Welcome to Evergreen Center

Dear community members, friends, and neighbors,

It is my honor to announce that Evergreen Center is now open! The PASSi community has worked hard cleaning, sterilizing and upgrading our facilities to ensure a safe, fun, family-friendly environment for all to enjoy.

We are thrilled to offer many of the programs and classes that you know and love including line dancing, music lessons, art classes and much more.

We are also pleased to offer several new programs including yoga, swimming lessons, meditation, mindfulness, and Asian-inspired cooking classes, just to name a few.

After you enjoy one of our many classes and seminars, we invite you to take advantage of our state-of-the-art fitness center. It includes an indoor saltwater pool, sauna, and cardio machines. Or enjoy a delicious meal and smoothie in our beautiful Café Green.

We'll continue to do everything we can to make sure Evergreen Center stays open for our whole community to enjoy safely. Hopefully, we'll see you in a class!

Sincerely,
