| Special Event: Celebrate 10 years of Senior Planet Center in NYC! |
| Hi everyone!
Since opening its doors on March 7, 2013, the Senior Planet center in New York City has changed the lives of ten of thousands of older adults. This would not have been possible without the support of participants, funders, collaborators, and team members throughout the years.
To celebrate this momentous milestone, we invite you to our 10 Year Celebration on Friday, April 21 from 12:00pm – 3:00pm EDT!
Join us as we highlight the achievements of our participants and hear from OATS/Senior Planet Executive Director, Tom Kamber.
Refreshments will be served, and Senior Planet swag will be given out, while supplies last. We look forward to seeing you there!
| Register for the 10 Year Celebration! |
Questions or comments? Email us at [email protected].
Have a wonderful weekend!
