Seniors on the Go is a new group formed to support local cultural organizations and to help older adults take part in their events and programs. It meets from 1:30-3:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at Linwood Senior Center. The only requirement for members is that they be a member of an area senior center (see page 17 for a list of those centers and contact information).
Here’s the group’s list of senior-friendly events happening in January. More options can be found in the Senior Wednesday listings on page 17, Theatre Notes on this page and Upcoming Events on page 22.
