On Friday, February 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., UpBEAT will dine at Bob Evans, located at 357 East State Street in Athens. A favorite of many for their farm-fresh comfort food, you can choose from breakfast items, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches and home-style dinners. We hope you will join us for good food and conversation with friends. The Lunch Program is open to our members and their guests, and each attendee pays for his or her own meal.

The UpBEAT Lunch Group meets the fourth Friday of each month at 11:30 a.m. at local area restaurants.

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.
