Older Adults and Caregivers Invited
Forever Young Community Club for older adults and caregivers is accepting registrants to March’s activities and events. The Forever Young Community Club is an opportunity for older adults and caregivers to have fun and participate in enriching activities every Tuesday and Thursday at Genesee Valley Central School. Activities begin at 10:00a.m. and end at 4:00p.m.
“Forever Young Community Club offers older adults and caregivers a space to meet friends or create new friendships,” explained Jose Soto, Ardent Solutions’ System Transformation Manager. “Ardent Solutions is partnering with Genesee Valley Central School and the Allegany County Office for the Aging to welcome community members 50 years of age and older from across Allegany County to participate in educational and wellness activities during the school day.”
