Held on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to noon at the Selectmen’s Room in the Town Office, 263 Mountain Road, Friends Together is a drop-in center to get together with friends old and new, enjoy some easy movement, hear health and wellness education talks or do a craft. No registration is necessary.

October 19th from 9:30 to 10:30: Chair Yoga (part of each Fall session)
Featuring Janet Alexander, an accomplished yoga instructor, who will focus on yoga designed to support individuals who need a less exertive exercise program. The repetitive sessions will build stamina and help with those fall chores like raking and winter prep.

October 19th from 10:45 to 11:30: File of Life, Safety and Emergency Support Resources
Presenter Mike Drake, Harpswell’s new Fire Administrator, will offer attendees information on safety in the home; File of Life, smoke detector inspections; contact for support and assistance on a wide array of issues in the home, even cleaning chimneys. This is a great opportunity to meet Harpswell’s new Fire Administrator (or whatever the new title is) and learn his department’s plans.
NOTE: October 19th session ends at 11:30 to allow participants time to visit the People Plus Senior Health Expo at the Brunswick Rec Center.
