TRY ONE OF OUR NEW PROGRAMS
The Little Compton Wellness Center is offering two new programs in April
PARKINSON’S DISEASE SUPPORT GROUP
Do you or a loved one have Parkinson’s Disease or another neurodegenerative condition? We’re excited to offer a new program that will the first of its kind in the Little Compton/Tiverton area. In just one week, we’ll be starting a six-week Parkinsons’ Disease Support Group led by the Rev. Virginia Army at the LC Wellness Center on Wednesdays from 3 to 4:15 p.m. (April 2 - May 7). This group will eventually meet monthly after the six-week session. Phase 2 of this initiative is a weekly exercise program at the LC Wellness Center tailored to best meet the movement needs of people with Parkinson’s. To sign up for the Parkinson’s Group, or if you have questions, please call 401-592-0400 or email hfitzgerald@lcwellness.org.
BOOMER BEATS
Starting on April 8, Rita Kenahan will be leading a high-energy exercise class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. Join Rita as she kick-starts the day with a class that offers great music and a workout that will keep you moving. Suggested donation for this class is $5.
Increase the "Play" in Your Life
Do you love to laugh? The LC Wellness Center wants to help increase the "play" in your life by offering you a chance to gather with others on Tuesdays from 4 to 5:15 p.m. to boost your joy level beginning on January 21, 2025. We'll be led by Little Compton Acting Coach Lisa Rowe-Beddoe as she guides us through a series of fun acting exercises, drama games and improvisational techniques. While the main goal is to enjoy laughter with others, Lisa's sessions also help extend physical dexterity and maintain mental agility. The cost is $10. Drop-ins are welcome. This will be a program you won't want to miss. For more information, please call Lisa at 413-330-4720.
SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS PLEASE!
If you have a stash of Lees Market receipts and aren’t quite sure where to bring them, the Little Compton Wellness Center will gladly accept them. As a Community Partner, we appreciate their support of local non-profits as well as yours. Thank you!
