Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
Some days, we just need to slow down and notice the beauty around us. The Walking Club recently visited the Wittenbach Agri Science Center in Lowell for a Saturday morning walk. It was a warm, but beautiful morning.
Many hands made light and fast work as participants assembled 200 wooden cars within an hour! These cars will be shipped to children in 3rd World countries. Nice work!!
REST in PEACE:
Dan Taylor, a committed husband, a dedicated father of one and a doting grandfather of 3, a dog lover, and a retired Postal Worker, Dan passed away on Sunday, August 17. For 7 years, Dan was involved in creating the questions and answers, and calling the Team Trivia games. YAH offers our condolences to his wife, Theresa, and his family. He is missed! May the beauty of his life bring peace and comfort.
