I"m very interested and any group that is age friendly. The fact that we will still have a voice and much wisdom to share is very important for our counties future. And I want friends my age to talk with and learn some of the wisdom they have to share and great stories of better times.
I like the fact that find out about housing, transportaion and senior communities. Activities for seniors , and fun things to do.

We really care about our town. We are big on keeping it clean. The community comes together to express our love for our children by having carnivals, picnic at parks, etc.

There aren't really any elderly age related activities to do. I think there should be a gym or park that is more comfortable for seasoned people.
