At the recent Keenagers Planning Meeting (note: The Keenagers are our 50+ Lunch Bunch here at the church) Marilyn passed out a series of articles that demonstrate the importance of socialization for our senior citizens. In fact, social interaction may be as vital as physical activity for our seniors.
Getting out and spending time with others in crucially important, particularly for our seniors.
"It is important for us to recognize," Marilyn said, "that we aren't just doing something fun for ourselves when we come to the Keenager meetings and outings. We are also doing something to benefit the other members of our church. This social time is really important."
Below you'll find links the articles she passed out:
