Community Breakfast

Get to know your neighbors with Community Breakfast! This fan-favorite community event takes place inside the West Y multipurpose room on the first Friday of each month from October through April. The program was created to spark friendly conversation in a welcoming environment; attendees are encouraged to stay as long (or as short) as they'd like. All are welcome, regardless of membership status. Registration is required but the food is free.

Matter of Balance

 

A Matter of Balance is an eight-week (mostly lecture-based) program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance. A Matter of Balance can help people improve their quality of life and remain independent. We ask all participants to attend at least 6 of the 8 sessions. 

Presented by Munson Medical Center.
