FREE Healthy Aging Fair for Seniors - “One Fall Can Change It All” - In Support of Older Adults Falls Prevention Awareness Week
 
The Village of New Lenox and its Safe Community Coalition / Older Adults Falls Prevention Task Group, with the support of New Lenox VFW Post 9545 is pleased to announce that the 2024 “One Fall Can Change It All” event will be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, from 8:30am to 11:30am at New Lenox VFW Post 9545, 323 Old Hickory Road, New Lenox, IL 60451.
 
“One Fall Can Change It All” is being held in conjunction with Falls Prevention Awareness Week, which is a nation-wide effort to raise awareness that falls are preventable.  States are encouraged to provide education and screening activities to raise awareness of the impact of falls on older adults, and our New Lenox Safe Community Coalition and its Older Adult Falls Prevention Task Group is planning to do just that! 
 
“One Fall Can Change It All,” a Healthy Aging Fair, will provide seniors with a FREE HOT breakfast, entertainment, and a variety of vendors (20+) that will offer health screenings, education, and other services.  Featured activities will include a “Stretching for Older Adults” presentation by Anointed Hands Wellness as well as a presentation on “Senior Scams and Fraud” by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. In addition, Christina Rona, singer and entertainer, will have everyone singing and clapping their hands to songs that everyone will know.  But that’s not all… there will be door prizes awarded throughout the morning to keep the fun going.  NO REGISTRATION IS NEEDED!
