MARCH PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
Embracing Aging: Finding Your Path to Aging Well
What does it mean to “Age Well?” Most people believe that the recipe for successful aging includes having a positive outlook and feeling physically healthy and socially connected with others. However, the description and meaning in each of these areas varies from person to person – the definitions are as unique as we are! Please join us on Monday, March 15 at 10:00 am to learn about how you can find your own path to aging well and resources available to help along the way.
“Social” Zoom With Club Friends
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and your device for a “social” Zoom session with friends from the Club! We’re trying something different this month – a Zoom session with no presentation, just a chance to see friends and enjoy some conversation. Please join Christine Napolitano on Wednesday, March 10 at 11 am to “catch up” with Club friends. Some things to share: Binge Watching, Books, What’s For Dinner, Online Goodies and Learning New Things, the Golden Globe Awards and more! Don’t worry if you don’t have a computer because there is a call-in option too! Please e-mail DeCorsoCenter@newprov.org by Monday, March 8 to register and receive the Zoom link.
