active aging Week… what is that? Active Aging Week is an International celebrating week that promotes and encourages people to participate fully at any age, regardless of mental or physical capacity. As a campus, this will be our 7th year celebrating and promoting a wide rage of activities and events that we hope you will take advantage of as you challenge yourself to a new program.
Active Aging Week will take place Monday, October 4 through Friday, October 8th. Each day, we will have a theme and a variety of events that anyone is welcome to join. Raffles, prizes and moving and grooving is definitely on the agenda. Each morning we will have a Campus Community walk beginning at 7AM in front of the Bistro. We will walk a mile on campus together and we ask that you invite a neighbor to join you. After Monday's walk, head over to the life Center to join us for our Kickoff Breakfast as we go through the week's events. A free buffet style breakfast will be available for you to enjoy, and trivia will be on the menu. Tuesday we will be heading over to the 19North garden to give back to our community. A tour will be given and we will assist will minor tasks that are needed to keep the garden flourishing. The more hands to give back, the more we can achieve. Wednesday we will have a Paint and Wine night in the Rose Garden with Artist Vidal Duarte. All supplies is included however, you will need to call to reserve a spot as space is limited. Thursday we will be swinging our partners round and round as we dance around at our Western Dance party. A cash bar for alcohol will be available to you so don't forget that cash, ya hear? Friday is our big Street Fair to close out the week. Wear your Beatitudes Gear proudly as we enjoy food, vendors and RAFFLES. The Employee Appreciation committee will be having a 50/50 raffle as well so don't forget that money honey.
The events listed above are only a few that are being highlighted. There are many more that you can find in the Active Aging Week magazine that will be distributed to your door for viewing. We will have guest speakers, classes and even free produce that is scheduled for you to enjoy. If you have any questions, call Didi at x18526. The Life Enrichment team can't wait to celebrate with you!
One more thing…. if you see Korry Nelson around campus, give him a huge SHOUT OUT for the BEAUTIFUL magazine that he has created for this special week. We couldn't do it without him!
