Dress Your "Age" For Leap Year

Weds., Feb. 29th, 11:45 a.m.

We are going to have some fun with our extra day!  Join us on the 29th and "Dress Your Age."  Since leap years only come around every 4 years, a Senior's leap year age is only one-quarter of their age on any other day.  So, for instance, if you happen to be 80 years young, on the 29th dress like you are 20!  And you can dress like you did when YOU were 20, or dress like today's 20 year olds.  We'll have some games and prizes after lunch.  So sign up with Senior Nutrition to come for lunch, or join us in Friendship Hall about noon if you don't want to come for lunch.
