Medford Leas has widened its reach into the community this year to attract even more people to the varied and exciting events in the new Pathways to Learning fall program.
This fall, Medford Leas will partner with the Medford Senior Center on Main Street and Woodford Cedar Run Refuge Center on Sawmill Road for programs that appeal to all ages and interests.
The Pathways to Learning program, now in its fifth season, has drawn record numbers of people, both Medford Leas residents and from the community.
“Medford is getting older with a bigger percentage of residents over 55. We welcome the programs offered by Medford Leas and appreciate that they off them out in the community,” said Beth Portocalis, special assistant to the manager of Medford Township.
Some of Medford Leas’ upcoming events include:
- Good Grief: Coping with Loss and Change: This workshop will help participants find strength to love in the face of life’s changes that we all face. Explore ways to cherish what has been lost and honor the spirit that continues to bring hope to our lives. The workshop will be on Oct. 9 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
- On Oct. 23 and Oct. 30 at 10 a.m., there will be a two-part program on how to organize stuff, how long to keep it and how to dispose of it to prevent potential fraud. Part two will discuss distributing possessions to family and friends.
