Hello Garrett County Seniors!

Happy October Garrett County

Seniors!

The cooler temperatures will soon

lead autumn leaves through their

annual transformation of color.

Check out our Senior Center site

information on page 2, with the

weather turning colder and outside

activities slowing down, fall is the

perfect time to visit a senior center.

We have 6 sites all across the county

so feel free to stop by when you have

a chance for a meal, an exercise class

or simply to enjoy some good

company.

Check out page 11 for our Center

Spotlight and see what our good

friends in Friendsville have been

getting into this summer.

Sincerely,

Shanna Humphrey
