Subject: We Love Seniors events
Thanks to all the supporters, volunteers and participants in our special February events. And thanks to Piedmont Health Services and the Moncure and Siler City Community Clinics for their sponsorship. Hats off, too, to the Council on Aging staff for their creativity, positive energy and commitment in providing the We Love Seniors Month special events.
More than 125 people visited the 13th Annual Healthy Heart Day event in Siler City!
About 100 people joined us for the 21st Annual Chocolate Cake, Cheesecake Too, Bake Off in Pittsboro. 43 cakes were auctioned off and we raised almost $3,500.
We sold $500 in cakes, candies and cookies at the bake sale in Siler City.
80 tickets for the AARP hot dog supper in Pittsboro were sold and many who attended took advantage of trying out the Nintendo Wii games and fitness programs.
We had a productive meeting in Pittsboro, with six Chatham service providers presenting information on programs to improve access to health care and chronic disease management.
