SCC Awarded Grant from the Town of Cornelius
Senior Community Connections is excited to announce that we were awarded an annual support grant from the town of Cornelius. The funds will be used to raise awareness of SCC’s services to residents, most importantly to secure much-needed volunteers and provide membership scholarships to those facing financial hardship. We are looking forward to furthering our mission with the support of the Cornelius Annual Support Grant. Thank you to everyone who helped make this grant possible.

Senior Community Connections is excited to reveal our new website. You will find a wealth of information about who we are, what we do, how to join as a member or volunteer. We hope you’ll hop on soon and take a look around. Feel free to share our website with your friends and neighbors.

3rd Wednesday Walk: Postponed 

Cooling off this month. Stay tuned for future walks, in the meantime check out indoor yoga (below). Save the date for future walks: Aug. 17, Sept. 21


Social Bridge: A bit rusty? No problem.

Join us for a Social Bridge. "Two components of bridge promote healthy aging and therefore make it an ideal game for seniors. Bridge provides 1) a cognitive workout and 2) an opportunity for social interaction. The combination of these two key components sets bridge apart from many other leisure time activities for fostering a happy, active, and healthy brain."-The Second Half: A Lifelong Learning Institute.


We're looking for players who may be rusty....even very rusty...but know the basics to play. If we have a table of four or more we'll set a time and day soon to meet at Beth's house to give it a try. Contact Beth at bethmillerquinn@gmail.com


Yoga & Meditation: Tuesday & Thursdays at 9am

Make time to take care of yourself. Join our volunteer, Laurie Walker, for meditation and/or yoga online. In addition to whatever is going on in your personal life, we are all living in the middle of so many converging issues – health, geopolitical, environmental, and more. If we are going to thrive – we have to increase our resilience. Regular yoga practice is a powerful vehicle to do just this.


You will find tools of breath, movement, and meditation that promote a sense of calm resilience.

  • Yoga classes are on Zoom Tuesdays and Thursdays from at 9:00 a.m. EST.*
  • Meditation Circle meets Tuesdays at 10:15 EST.*

    


SCC members receive complementary access to the courses. Email Laurie for more info. at laurie1059@gmail.com
