HM Elders plan monthly activities

Posted

April2014IOC_HmalineMidwayEldersThe popular “Chair Yoga” class led by Nancy Giguere returns for an 8 week series on Thursday mornings beginning Jan. 8 from 10:30-11:30am. This free class is moving to a new location–the auditorium at the Hamline Midway Library, 1558 W. Minnehaha Ave. Chair yoga focuses on range of movement, alignment, stretching, strengthening, awareness, breathing and relaxation. All movement is done while seated or standing using the chair for balance.

The Caregiver Support Group is open to anyone caring for older adults or persons of any age with special needs. This group is facilitated by Monica Gallagher and trained volunteers. The group will meet on Thur., Jan. 8 from 6:30-8 pm (and meets regularly on the second Thursday of each month) at Hamline United Methodist Church, 1514 Englewood Ave. There is no cost and new attendees are always welcome.

Dr. Steve Vincent, from People’s Center Health Services in Minneapolis, will make a presentation on “Elder Health Care” at the Hamline Midway Elders monthly luncheon on Tues., Jan. 13, from 11:30am to 1pm. Free blood pressure checks will be provided and transportation for neighborhood seniors can be arranged with advance notice. Second Tuesday monthly luncheons are held at Hamline United Methodist Church, 1514 Englewood Ave.

HME are excited to be partnering with the Hamline Midway Library again for the upcoming winter series that will be held at the library and feature guest speakers on a wide variety of topics. Programs will be held on Wednesdays, 1-3pm. New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger kicks off the series on Jan. 14 – and folks of all ages are invited to attend any/all programs. Refreshments will be provided.
