2. The remodel of the existing Fire Station #1
Jenny Shipman, Alzheimer's Association Program Director, talked to club members about the things that we can do now to reduce our risk of cognitive decline such as exercising, socializing, eating a healthy diet, and learning something new. It's never too late to adopt healthy habits. Jenny gave the advice of starting now, starting small, engaging others, and making it fun.
In affiliation with Rotary International, Rotary Club of Andover (RCA) is a group of passionate business and professional members who coordinate our collective experience, career skills and enthusiasm to improve our community through meaningful service projects. It sounds all too familiar, but having fun while doing those things is the ARC differentiator. After all, nobody said making a difference couldn’t be fun. We meet on the first three Thursdays of the month (and the fifth Thursday when there is one) at noon at Terradyne Country Club in Andover. We share a delicious buffet lunch together while having an informative program, usually with a guest speaker from the community.
