‘Health and Wellness Week’

Published 4:46 pm Tuesday, June 4, 2013

Orcas Library is hosting its first annual Health and Wellness Week from June 10 to 15. There will be a wealth of offerings from practitioners in Eastsound and beyond.

“This will be your opportunity to try out a new fitness class, learn about active aging, plan your retirement, or attend a cooking demonstration – all at no charge,” say organizers.

This year the program is focusing on mid-life adults (a.k.a. Baby Boomers) and how they can take control of the aging process by keeping their minds and bodies active. But by no means are the presentations limited to any age group – all are welcome.

Health and Wellness Week 2013 is a joint presentation of the Friends of the Orcas Island Library and Transforming Life After 50, an initiative designed to help libraries better serve and engage mid-life adults. Stop by Orcas Island Library or visit www.orcaslibrary.org for a complete schedule of events. There is no cost to participate, but some events have a limited number of spaces. Call 376-4985 with questions or to sign up.
