May Featured Events

May 2012 is Fabulous After Fifty Month!

May is Older Americans Month and also marks a slew of things like Arthritis Awareness Month, Osteoporosis Month, Stroke Awareness Month, etc. etc. We prefer to call it "Fabulous After Fifty" to celebrate just how great life can be when you're fifty or older.
Some of our Partners in Health agree and are featuring some great promotions this month for the Fabulous Over Fifty Crowd - such as:

FREE Class Passes at Club Energy
Free 3-day passes at Camas Center
$20 Facial Fridays at Anastasia's Spa & Salon.

Sound great? We think so too! As usual, there are a host of other healthy activities and events going on in May as well (Inter-generational Art Show at CREATE, Who Let the Girls Out!? shopping extravaganza, etc.) so be sure to check the events below and our Community Calendar for full details.
