Welcome

 

WELCOME TO THE UPPER MERION SENIOR SERVICE CENTER

How quickly the summer is fading into our memories. I hope you all enjoyed the warmth and beauty of the season. October brings us fall decorations, mums, and pumpkins as the season changes.

One of the many goals as a Senior Center is promoting socialization, an important aspect of maintaining better brain health. Regular conversations and group activities function as a mental workout. It slows cognitive decline and lowers the risk of memory loss and dementia. Connecting with others reduces loneliness and lowers the risk of depression and anxiety. Take advantage of the many activities and events that promote your better health.

Many thanks to Lauretta for organizing the General Meeting luncheon last month. The food was excellent and I hope everyone who attended enjoyed their time spent with other members.

There are many activities scheduled in the upcoming months, plan to attend and support the Center. November will be an especially busy month with the Craft Show and Bake Sale, the Veteran's Breakfast, a General Meeting, and our biggest fundraiser – Big Bingo. Volunteers are always needed!

Hope to see you around the Center.

Sharon Brzoska, President
