April 5-7. Therefore, we will not be having any normally scheduled

activities during those days.

see page 4 for details, and for other ways you can contribute to make a most

important fundraiser of the year a success!

We’re walking to Graceland in Memphis! Well, kind of...

The Maury County Senior Center, the Maury County Health Department, and the South Central Regional Health Department are

sponsoring a “Walking to Memphis In May” event to promote health and fitness. This will span over six weeks to walk the distance to

Graceland and back.

There will be a kick-off at 10am on April 16th, and a celebration at 10am on May 25th for those that have participated. We have forms to track your progress, and to turn in to put towards our

goal. During the six week period we will also have speakers on Tuesdays at 10am.

Please see page 4 for more information.

(Above and below) County Mayor Charlie Norman came to speak to us about Maury County growth in March.

DATES: THURSDAY MAY 24, 2018 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM FRIDAY MAY 25, 2018 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM

The AARP Smart Driver™ 2-day course is recognized as an approved accident prevention course for drivers age 55 and

older by the Tennessee Department of Safety. The cost is $15 for AARP members, and $20 for non-members. Please call the Senior Center at 931-380-3950 to register. Seating is limited.

Due to a variety of extra events this month, we will

not be having a potluck lunch in April.
