Active Aging Week
October 4-8
Initiated in 2003 by the International Council on Active Aging, the weeklong campaign calls attention to and wholeheartedly celebrates the positivity of aging today. It showcases the capabilities of older adults as fully participating members of society and spotlights the role models that lead the way.
All Active Aging Week events are FREE, however, pre-registration is required. Call 427-6460 or stop by the Community Center to sign up. Registration deadlines are two days prior to each event. Check-in for events is 30 minutes prior to start time. Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in each tournament with more than 10 participants. Tournaments with fewer than 10 participants will award the top two finishers. The first 100 participants will receive a free t-shirt.
All events are held at the Community Center, 233 W. Main St. unless otherwise noted.
