Active Aging Week

Montgomery County will hold its annual Active Aging Week (AAW) October 2 – 8, 2023.  Residents 50+ are invited to attend free programs and events that support the benefits of leading healthy physical, mental and intellectual lifestyles across the lifespan. The events are co-sponsored by various Montgomery County government agencies and departments, including Health and Human Services, Environmental Protection, Recreation, Montgomery Parks and Public Libraries as well as local community organizations, non-profits and hospitals.

 

A signature event “Go, Grow & Get Active” to kick off AAW will take place on Monday, October 2 at the Brookside Gardens in Wheaton. Attendees will be able to participate in activities that will boost physical and mental wellness through creative expression, exercise and socialization. Activities will include laughter yoga, brain games, strength training, meditation, seasonal crafts, yoga dance and more. Participants may also take a stroll around the grounds with the doctors from “Walk with a Doc.”

COVID-19 TESTING AT COLESVILLE

"When it comes to COVID-19, the numbers continue to paint a dire picture for Black Americans. Despite representing only 13% of the U.S. population, Black people account for almost 20% of deaths across the country. News 4’s Cory Smith reports on the ongoing effort in the Black community to increase testing." In an interview with Reverend Armstrong, the Pastor said "the ministry is about saving souls but it is also about saving lives."
