Northampton Council on Aging

On Wednesday, May 30, the Northampton Council on Aging took part in National Senior Health & Fitness Day by offering several activities at no cost. The annual event is held nationwide as part of a celebration of Older Americans Month and National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.

The NCOA sponsored a free low impact exercise and weight training class at the VFW in Florence in the morning. Free swimming at Clarke School was offered in the evening and in the afternoon there was a walk at Look Park in Florence. For more information about these and other fitness activities offered by the NCOA call 587-1228.
