On Friday, January 24, UpBEAT members will dine at the Cutler’s Restaurant at Ohio University Inn and Conference Center located at 331 Richland Avenue in Athens from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We will join in the Wilson Room for a nice meal and conversation together. The lunch menu offers soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches to include seafood options. 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.
