Celebrate seniors at the Oct. 15, Palatine Township Senior Center Fall Festival
September was Senior Center month, and this year's theme was Senior Centers: Building Momentum. The Palatine Township Senior Center joined senior centers across the country to illustrate that senior centers are the future of what aging can be. Innovative programs hosted at senior centers can change the perception of aging, and create important community resources for aging expertise.
Come enjoy the continuing celebration of seniors from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 15, at the Palatine Township Senior Center, 505 S. Quentin Road, Palatine, for the Fall Festival. Enjoy complimentary doughnuts and cider, health screenings, demonstrations and activities.
Visit the exhibitor tables with more than 20 free raffles. Experience a fall prevention screening. Enjoy free demonstrations of the activities offered at PTSCC such as chair yoga, Tai Chi, Wii sports, and ceramics, and find out how much fun these activities are to participate in. Learn about the new way to relax through the use of coloring books. See what other quality programs and services the PTSCC offers and visit many of its supporters offering their expertise ranging from senior living facilities, in-home health care, medical providers, insurance, financial, realty assistance and more.
The PTSCC Social Services department will be offering free senior entitlement screenings and Medicare information.
