Active Aging Week

 

Adding a dash of something new to your life is a great way to keep our health in good order.

OCT 4-10, 2021

@ 11 am daily

(except on Saturday – 8am)

 

“Active Aging Week challenges society’s diminished expectations of aging by showing that, regardless of age or health conditions, adults over 50 can live as fully as possible in all areas of life—physical, social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, vocational and environmental. “

– Int’l Council of Active Aging

“Aging doesn’t cause stiffness. Lack of movement does.”

– Keiko Walsh
