Keiro has again awarded First Presbyterian Church, Altadena grant funding in 2025-2026 to support and sustain programs and services provided to older adults and caregivers in our community. The following programs have been developed to promote healthier and more fulfilling lives of our aging seniors. We thank Keiro for their generous grants program which continues to help our older adults and caregivers to live a long and healthy life. Because of Keiro’s generosity, we are able to continue to offer the following programs and classes to all seniors and caregivers with the hope that the programs will provide health/wellness, purpose, connectedness, security and autonomy to all those that participate.
SR SMARTIES WELLNESS & KARAOKE CAFE
We have a chair fitness program for our seniors that meets Fridays from 10:30 to 11:30 in our church Social Hall. Once a month we have a Potluck lunch. Please join us for a morning of fun, great music and exercise, as well as meeting with friends and making new acquaintances. To see videos of more of our classes, please go to www.silvergoldseniorsmarties.org and use the Password SENIORS$$$. Immediately following the exercise program, we provide a small meal before we continue with the Karaoke Cafe, a fun and social event that is entertaining as well as nostalgic.
