We had a wonderful turnout with over 35 attendees at The Gathering Place this Wednesday morning, Nov 5th!  Fresh coffee and warm biscuits and gravy started our day together, followed by an incredible lineup of community partners who shared valuable local resources:

• Michelle from Spokane Neighbors Action Partners (SNAP) highlighted Weatherization and senior support programs.

• Corrine from the North Spokane County Library District (SCLD) shared upcoming events and opportunities for senior connections.

• Phil with Aging and Long Term Care of Eastern Washington (ALTCEW) discussed ongoing services and fall prevention workshops.

• JJ Klaus, Medicare specialist, answered participant questions about Medicare plans and enrollment.

To wrap up the morning, JoAnn led a light stretching activity using scarves for arm and muscle movement, and Mindy guided a creative small group in cross-stitch projects. It was a wonderful morning of learning, movement, and community spirit!
