Several folks who are involved and enjoy Forward Chicago’s offerings live at Bethany Retirement Community, 4950 N. Ashland. They’ve recognized that the Forward Chicago mission for all of us to be connected, active, engaged and influential in our community is very much in line with what our neighbors at Bethany Retirement Community are doing. We’d like to get to know them better and they’d like to be involved in the activities that our Forward Chicago members offer. To that end, we’ll be sharing some programming with them. Take a look at our calendar. Coming this week:
On the 2nd Friday of the month (March 9th) learn from experts at our Health Awareness Series 1:30-2:30pm.
10 Healthy Habits for Each and Every Day- Incorporating small, yet powerful health habits into our daily routine brings powerful and positive effect on our physical, mental, and brain health. We’ll examine the benefits of 10 healthy habits, as well as strategies to integrate them seamlessly into your life. Randi Kant has great ideas and is an energetic speaker.
We will have the Bystander CPR class in April! Snow showers got in the way of our first talk so come out on Friday!
On March 10th at 2pm, enjoy a “sing along” movie you may have seen it before or if you missed it at the movies you can enjoy if for the first time. How much fun will it be in a group and belting out “Ding dong the witch is dead” during the Wizard of Oz on Saturday? Free popcorn!
Both programs are at Bethany Retirement Community 4950 N Ashland Ave. Plenty of street parking and they have a lot on Winnemac.
