►Men’s Group for Retiring and Aging
Consider joining us if you are interested in meeting with other men for socialization, support & meaningful, confidential conversation. Please address your inquiries or express your interest by calling the Center at 508-349-0313. New members will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration is necessary, openings available. This is not a drop-in offering. Call or email me and I will connect you with our group leader.
We talk about being retired, making friends, finding medical providers, caring for elderly family members, etc. Even if you are without worries, life has a way of throwing us curveballs. You never know when things will change or not go as you planned. Talking with other guys who "get it" can build your resilience and "manpower", so that you will be able to maintain control in facing life's ups and downs.
Come join us every Tuesday from 2 –3:15 PM.
Contact the Center at 508-349-2800 for more information or to enroll.
