Getting Seniors Outdoors - POSTPONED

*UPDATE 4/3/2020*: We regret to announce that this event, “Getting Seniors Outdoors”, has been POSTPONED, following the recommendations issued by the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) that individuals, especially older Americans, avoid crowds as much as possible. We have not yet set a later date for this event, but please keep an eye on our Facebook page, website, and e-newsletters for program announcements!

Stay healthy,

Randy Thoreson and the staff at The Great River Road Visitor & Learning Center

ALL are invited to this free presentation with Randy Thoreson about the importance of connecting seniors – and all generations – to the outdoors in order to ensure a healthy life for all!

Randy is an experienced and entertaining speaker, recently (and happily!) retired from the National Park Service. His presentation includes collaborative ideas on connecting seniors to the outdoors, fun visual pictures, as well as challenging the audience members to think about how they interact with the elderly sector of our population and what opportunities currently exist and/or can be integrated in community planning, health initiatives, and organizations’ outreach efforts.

Please register to save your seat!
