If you want to ensure that your spouse/ significant other/ best friend (who also must be a member) accompanies you if you win, you may put two names on the lottery ticket for $10.
On Friday March 15th at Noon, we will pick the winners live. Half of the
people picked will be City of Buffalo residents, the other half will be non-City members. Once you have been notified that you won, you have one week to pay for your trip ticket- $15 for City of Buffalo members, $20 for non-City members. Lunch is an additional $3.

BETTER BODY BALANCE
Better Body Balance for Seniors is a specialized fitness class designed to enhance the physical and mental well-being of older adults by focusing on improving their balance, stability, and overall body strength.

Some balance drills and specific exercises will be offered to challenge and improve balance. Light weights, or bodyweight exercises will be used to build strength in the legs, core, and upper body.
