Second Wind Calendar For September

We are approaching the time of year when the change of the seasons is imminent, but one thing that will stay consistent is that VPAS will continue to offer great opportunities and activities for older area citizens through its Second Wind program.

On Tuesday, September 19th^th, a 10:00 am exit time is planned for a shopping trip to Franklin WV, with lunch at the Gateway Restaurant in Riverton. Home pick-up is also available. There is a $5.00 round trip cost.

Digital assistance will be available on two Tuesdays, September 12^th and 26th, at the Highland County Public Library with individual technical assistance given with Computers with Deborah from 10:00 am to Noon. It will also be available Wednesday, 13^th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm with Computers with Derek and Deborah.

Elders can also get moving or get quiet during the month, with numerous classes and workshops sponsored by VPAS and the Highland Medical Center, including martial arts, seated and regular yoga, and meditation. The weight management support group meetings will begin again on Wednesday, September 20^th, and will be held every week from 5:00 – 6:00 pm on the same day, at the Highland Medical Center. September also marks the beginning of the Basics of Diabetes and Medications tele-communications class offered at HMC – for more information on this, visit the pair of stories by Chris Swecker on our website.

Other non-VPAS sponsored activities to take advantage of during the month include a trip to the 11^th Annual Heritage Harvest Days at Monticello on September 11^th.
