What’s Next: Resources as We Age

We invite the community to attend “What’s Next: Resources
as We Age” to be held at four Whatcom County Senior Centers during the month of March 2023. These events are free and open to the entire community.

March 10th – Bellingham Senior Activity Center
March 17th – Blaine Senior Center
March 24th – Lynden Senior/Community Center

What’s Next: Resources as We Age is an opportunity to share information and answer questions about what resources are available to seniors in our community including senior living options, caregiving, dementia support, financial services, Medicare, computer training and more.
