Hockomock Area YMCA Announces Summer Events for Adults

The Hockomock Area YMCA’s Live Y’ers Group is pleased to promote summer activities that are about more than simply being physically active. Comprised of men and women age 50 and over, this program fosters connections and furthers the Y’s commitment to healthy lifestyles achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit. Well-being and fitness at the Y is so much more than just working out. Live Y’ers members meet monthly to plan overnight trips, day trips, lectures, special events, exercise classes, and more.

Stepping back into the time capsule to see what has been posted here each of the years that Franklin Matters has been around I find:

2012 - "We, the people"

2011 - Family tradition

2010 - Links of Interest on the 4th of July

2009 - Happy 4th of July

2008 - no posting on the 4th, however you can cruise among the archives for the month here:
http://www.franklinmatters.org/2008_07_01_archive.html

2007 - Franklin Matters was 'born' during the year as I was posting on my personal blog and didn't become real until November 2007 when this site came into effective.


Let me remind you that

• If you like what I am doing here, please tell your friends and neighbors
• If you don’t like something, please tell me

Thank you for reading. Enjoy your holiday week!
