Food Safety - Celebrate through the Holidays!

Erie County Senior Services welcomes you to Stay Fit dining, serving hot, nutritious, delicious noonday meals Monday through Friday.

You or your spouse must be 60 years of age or older, and there is no charge for a meal but we do ask for a confidential contribution. The suggested contribution is only $2.25 but no one will ever be denied a meal if they cannot contribute.

Along with a delicious meal, our centers offer a wide range of activities for you to enjoy such as exercise classes, computer classes, health and fitness seminars, nutrition education, cooking classes, line dancing, crafts, free concerts, bingo and day trips. If you have any questions or comments regarding this program call 858-7639.

Exercise is For Everyone!

Stay Fit Dining offers Senior Fitness for all sizes and all ages. Senior Fitness Programs are held at many Stay Fit Sites. Resistance exercises are led by Senior Fitness Coordinator, Richard Derwald or by volunteers who are seniors themselves. Join in the fun! To find out more about the program or to become involved in leading groups - Volunteers Welcomed (and receive free training) call 858-6975. Visit www.mrfitnesstv.com for great photos and more information about exercises. The benefits of exercise are well known, but the everyday benefits are often overlooked - increased flexibility means you can reach the back of those cupboards at home, resistance exercises can help fight off osteoporosis, and physical activity improves cardiovascular health. Fitness is vital in helping with balance and preventing falls among older adults. If you think only younger people can or should go to a health club or gym, think again. The Senior Fitness Program is a great way to have fun (yes, exercising) with people your own age, because everybody supports each other in fun surroundings! Exercise doesn't have to be painful - it can be fun! Call 858-6975 to enroll in the program, or to check out what it's all about! The program is held at Stay Fit sites throughout the area.
