U of I Extension explores 'Positive Aging' in free program Feb. 10
Is there a secret to successful aging? Believe it, or not, it has nothing to do with your income, and it is not just about being free from illness. Living a healthy lifestyle, and maintaining a positive attitude and friendships are a few ways to age well.
"I'm Positive, I'm Aging" is a University of Illinois Extension educational program that will help participants explore the characteristics of positive aging and learn how to make the most of our later years. Led by an Extension Educator, the program also looks at ageism and how it affects all ages, as well as, the many similarities older generations have with younger ones.
This free seminar is provided in cooperation with the Association for Home and Community Education and will be led by an Extension Educator via webinar. It will be conducted from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 10, at three local Extension offices - Naperville, St. Charles, and Yorkville.
Registration is required by Thursday, Feb. 2, to prepare materials, and space may be limited.
