The UpBEAT Singing Group meets the third Friday of each month, at 1 p.m. in the Athens Community Center in Multipurpose Room C. Join us on Friday, February 21, as we continue to sing songs from A Reader’s Digest Songbook: Remembering the ’50s. Here is a sneak peek of some of the songs we’ll sing: “Who’s Sorry Now,” “Catch a Falling Star,” “Wabash Cannonball,” “Enjoy Yourself,” and “Yellow Rose of Texas.” Do these songs ring a bell? Come sing with us and help choose next month’s song selections. UpBEAT members are encouraged to bring their voices and listening ears to share in singing together. If you have a talent to share, instruments are welcome, too!

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.
