  • Social Activities for Older Adults

    SOCIAL ACTITIES: LBFE'S OLDER ADULTS BEGIN TO BUILD CONNECTIONS THROUGH SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, AND THEY HAVE MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. LARGE PARTIES ARE HELD ON THANKSGIVING AT TWO LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND MEALS WITH VISITS ARE DONE ON THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS DAY. EACH SPRING, LBFE HOSTS THE FETE D'ARMAND MARQUISET, A PARTY CELEBRTING THE FOUNDER. EVERY MONTH, THERE IS A BIRTHDAY PARTY SO THAT OLDER ADULTS WHO ARE BORN IN THAT MONTH CAN CELEBRATE WITH FRIENDS. THE LBFE COFFEE & CONVERSATION OFFERS BI-WEEKLY EVENTS FOR OLDER ADULTS TO SHARE COFFEE AND CHAT ON THURSDAY MORNINGS. SUMMER GATHERINGS, DAY-TRIPS, AND 4-DAY VACATIONS TO AUDREY'S HOUSE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OLDER ADULTS TO CREATE NEW FRIENDSHIPS. LUNCHEONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERGENERATIONAL GATHERINGS AND THE CELEBRATION OF THE SEASON.
