YOU ARE INVITED! The participants of the Senior Health Activity and Recreation Program (SHARP) of Old Forge will observe their one-year anniversary on Wednesday, February 3rd.
The community is cordially invited to join us for a celebration of the beginning of our second year.
We will have an Open House from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Niccolls Church in the Fellowship Hall. So, mark your calendar and come have some snacks and warm beverages with our seniors!
The following Wednesday, February 10th, we will celebrate Valentine’s Day a little early with some music, memories and more!
On February 17 we will be keeping warm and fit during these cold winter days by doing chair exercises, having a hot lunch and great conversation while we play, “Those Were the Days Pictionary.”
The final Wednesday of the month, February 24th, in addition to some of our regular activities we are planning to learn about fire safety with a visit from Old Forge Fire Chief Charlie Bogardus.
Each week we also offer exercises, puzzles, pitch, and other games.
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.)
