Active Adults Enjoy Health Benefits of Connections

We may feel younger and healthier than any Active Adult generation before us, but we still need to safeguard our health and wellness, and one of the best ways to do that is by connecting with others.

Active Adults Celebrate May with Connecting, Creating and Contributing

The Administration for Community Living has designated the month of May as Older Americans Month, and the theme for 2019 is Connect, Create and Contribute, which encourages people to interact with friends, family and their communities; engage in creative activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment; and contribute their time, talents, and life experience to benefit others.

Inspired by “The Lullaby of Spring,” by Donovan (1968)

Rain has showered far too long

A warm, wet winter we’ve endured

Active Adults Await Outdoor Gardening Activities
