Welcome to the Friday Five

It's a Philly Sports Kind of Weekend!

Fall is officially here, and between cooler temperatures, busy calendars, and a little Philadelphia sports excitement, there’s plenty to look forward to! The Phillies are making their push toward the playoffs, and the Eagles are gearing up for Monday Night Football. So grab your fall jacket, get your Phillies red and Eagles green ready, and let’s get into this week’s Friday Five. Go Birds and go Phils!

Cool Weather, New Season, New Things to Learn!

The fall temperatures have us ready for everything the season has to offer, and what better way to welcome fall than by learning something new? The Center for Life Long Learning (CLLL) has released its 2026 Fall Course Guide, packed with educational opportunities for older adults throughout the county. From interesting lectures and discussions to creative pursuits and new topics to explore, there’s something for every curious mind. Take a look at the Fall Course Guide and find your next class!

Get Moving: Which Senior Center Will Win Walk-tober?

It’s time to get those walking shoes ready! The Delaware County Health Department is challenging local senior centers to participate in the Walk-tober Walking Challenge.

Good Neighbor Senior Center will host an information and promotional session on Wednesday, September 30, where you can learn all the rules and regulations and find out how to help make your center the winning site. And we’re already seeing some great energy from our walking clubs, with Wednesday walks at Schoolhouse and Tuesday walks at Chester. Keep it up, and let’s see which SCS center comes out on top in this friendly competition!
