NTO or “Never Too Old” is for folks 55 years of age or older. The members come from First Tucker and from other churches in the Tucker community. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month in the Main Street Fellowship Hall at 11:30 a.m. Following a brief business meeting, we enjoy a wonderful lunch followed by a time of entertainment. The entertainment can vary from a variety musical show to gospel quartet to clogging. The monthly meeting is coordinated by the NTO Council, a group of about 60 individuals that help make each monthly meeting run like “a well greased machine.”

NTO Singers is an opportunity for senior adults to sing together throughout the year. Rehearsals or “Happy Hour” are at 11 a.m. on Wednesday mornings. The Singers prepare Christmas music in the fall and a variety of music from gospel to Broadway in the spring. They share their music at senior adult luncheons and assisted living facilities throughout the city. One gentleman said about the group, “You are fan – dam –tastic!”
