Unbeknown to them, aliens have been using the swimming pool in the house to store their cocooned brethren, giving the waters a powerful, rejuvenating quality. The guest speakers for this event include Jody Jameson, Operations and Program Supervisor, Cary Senior Center and Joel Zimmerman, President, Wake County Senior Games.
