Hello, 

       Let’s forget about the cold and snowy days in February and instead celebrate what is special about this month. February is thought by some to be a transition month where we are recovering from the holidays and looking forward to the next season. The COA is taking this opportunity to do some planning for the year ahead.

  In February, we have some Valentine themed activities such as the Nancy Frank’s talk on Enduring Love and Famous Couples, a Valentine Lunch on the 23rd, or come by for a free cookie and coffee on the 13th. Ginny Lavin, RN will give a “heart healthy talk” on the 25th as it is American Heart Health Month. Ginny will provide tips and strategies on how to live stronger and longer. 

         It is also “Black History Month” where we have scheduled several movies and documentaries on black history. In 2026 we commemorate the 100th anniversary of showcasing black history in our country.

         February recognizes the “Random Acts of Kindness Day” on the 17th. This is a great opportunity to do something nice for someone, especially for those who are alone or housebound.

        Lastly, I want to remind everyone to make your Income Tax Appointments with the AARP Tax Preparation Service. This is a great program offered at the Senior Center but keep in mind that appointments fill up fast

Wishing you a sweet and heartfelt month, 

Carol
