ACES offers group activities, recreational programs and volunteer opportunities to Pima County adults age 50 and older. Our goal is to provide a variety of pleasurable experiences that will enrich and enhance the social, educational and physical well being of all who participate in ACES. ACES provides social interaction through games, luncheons with entertainment, day and overnight trips, theatre presentations, movies and the opportunity to take part in community service projects.

Business meetings and activity registration
First Tuesday of every month, 10:30 a.m.
Meetings are held in the ACES room with monthly activity registrations beginning at 10:00 a.m. Registration for activities works on a first-come, first-served basis, with those attending the business meetings being first.

Seniors may obtain updated information about events, trips, classes, meetings, and services by reading the monthly newsletter, the ACES Scuttlebutt, distributed at the monthly business meeting. ACES encourages volunteerism as a form of recreation. Members are actively involved in collecting items for Youth on Their Own and provide assistance to schools. ACES provides baby bonnets for newborns at Northwest Hospital and volunteer for a number of county and city special events that are in need of assistance.
