We can all use some time to focus our attention on organizing our homes, our lives and/or our daily schedules. Join us on Thursday, January 16 at 2 p.m. in Lower Level Room 8 at OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital, for a presentation from Aubrei Krummert, the owner and founder of Real World Organizing. Aubrei will give us some inside tips on how to approach downsizing and managing clutter to prevent the need for downsizing multiple times throughout our lives. Come prepared, to return home, with the knowledge to develop a plan fit for your current organization goals.

UpBEAT Food for Thought Program provides free health education workshops and presentations for adults ages 55 and older. The Food for Thought Program meets the third Thursday of each month at 2 p.m., usually at OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital and the fourth Thursday of the month, for months of January, March, May, July, and September at 2 p.m. at the OhioHealth Nelsonville Health Center.

UpBEAT is a program for those 55 years and older. Membership is free. To join UpBEAT and receive our monthly newsletter, or for program information, call Caitlin Bond, UpBEAT Program Coordinator, at (740) 566.4680.

During winter weather please note, UpBEAT programming is cancelled if the Athens City School District cancels for severe weather. We also cancel our programs if conditions are dangerous for older adults to leave their homes, for example if there is ice on roads or sidewalks or the temperature is below 15 degrees. When an activity is cancelled due to weather conditions, it will meet again at the next regularly scheduled time. When possible, the speaker or activity for the cancelled program will be rescheduled for the next available date. Except for the Saturday exercise class at O’Bleness, cancellations will be announced on WATH 970 AM.
