Beginning again on Tuesdays, October 15th- AGING MASTERY PROGRAM

Posted on August 27, 2019 by Groton

As children, we’re taught how to be successful adults. By contrast, no one teaches us how to age well. As a result, most are unprepared for this new stage in life.
 
That’s where Aging Mastery® comes in. NCOA created Aging Mastery as a guide to building a playbook for aging well and making the most of the gift of longer life. Town of Groton Senior Center will start offering this great AGING MASTERY program again Tuesdays, October 15th.
