THRIVE (formerly Lively at 55+) is a social and service group of people ages 55 and over. We gather together to serve the community, build friendships, share interests and simply enjoy each other’s company!
This year, we're excited to expand to regional options in a partnership between the Poole Family YMCA (Garner) and East Triangle YMCA (Johnston County).
