Walking on Wednesdays: Led by Marie Pleasant, the Senior Walkers meet every Wednesday, unless there’s inclement weather. Meet in front of the Swanson Pool at 9:30am every Wednesday. There are slow walkers and faster ones, and the group walks for about 45 minutes around the neighborhood. Some walkers bring canes. The important thing is to show up and move. It has become a wonderful social outing that fits into the Senior Watch mantra. For more info, contact Marie at seekgene@aol.com or 858.453.2107.
