Reservations are required for this free event, so call the front desk today. With all the exercise classes available, did you know that you can make your brain more fit? Scientific research shows that mental abilities can be strengthened by creating new neurons and neural connections –at any age. Engaging in cognitive exercise delays age-related cognitive decline, decreases the risk of developing dementia, and improves cognitive performance and functioning. Our very new specialty offering, Brain Fitness, will show you how you can keep your brain stronger for longer. Sign up for this 6-week class which starts in October. Keeping the mind healthy is so important. That’s why we want you to Hear What You’ve Been Missing. Come to our free hearing test in our computer lab and receive a report of your results. The lecture will review the degrees of hearing loss, the impact of hearing loss on speech perception, and the effects when it is left untreated. Learn what you can do to avoid the impacts of hearing loss. We have much more to offer during these next three months. Take a look and mark your calendar now to save the dates. I look forward to seeing you here and hope that you enjoy the many offerings we provide. All the very best, Cathy
