MontCo SAAC
Hope you stayed warm, cozy and safe during the snowfall yesterday afternoon and last night! Today we look into a company that specializes in seniors, MontCo SAAC, located in both Norristown and Ambler! They provide opportunities for many people and we'll look into a few of their upcoming virtual plans below. The Centurion discussion is at 10:30AM, so don't miss it! If you'd like to join or find more information and events, you can visit their website or their Instagram.
Every year we make it is a special achievement, but it's a tad more special when you reach 100 years old. That's what local Josephine Talley accomplished a few days ago! Join MontCo SAAC on Zoom as they discuss a variety of topics with Josephine, such as what it takes to reach 100 years old and what it feels like to have made it this far in life!

Tune In - December 17th - 10:30AM
