You’ve heard the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, anyone who who takes a look at the photos from some of our outings will be able to tell how much fun we have with the Senior Health Activity and Recreation Program (SHARP).
We have been blessed with some good weather over the summer and recently were able to enjoy a picnic on Fourth Lake.
Living near such beautiful lakes provides us with easy opportunities for an afternoon in the sun and shade.
We enjoyed grilled hamburgers and hot dogs along with friendly conversation and laughter…creating yet another memory of a great time together.
Last week we had a lot of laughs as we donned colorful leis and grass skirts for Hawaiian Day. As a special treat, we enjoyed tropical fruit, ham and rice for lunch.
We are a group that looks out for each other. When someone is missing, we all feel it.
So we send cards and encouragement to those who can’t be with us due to health or family concerns.
We’d love to have some new people join us!
SHARP is a free program offered to all independent senior citizens from Woodgate to Raquette Lake.
We meet at Niccolls Memorial Church in Old Forge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday.
Lunch during our regular Wednesday sessions is provided by the Community Health & Wellness Fund (formerly the Town of Webb Health Center Fund.)
For more information, call or text (315) 225-7553, or email activitiescoordinator4seniors@yahoo.com.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to circumstances beyond my control, there will be no SHARP gathering on Wednesday, September 9th.
