Held on a sunny early-September day, the gathering invited local seniors to share an outdoor lunch and conversation as the community moved into the fall season. The club reported that guests enjoyed a buffet of beef brisket and chicken sandwiches, salads, cornbread and desserts. The event was open to Florham Park senior citizens, with a $5 per-person cost.
The picnic offered a relaxed setting for neighbors to reconnect and for newer attendees to become acquainted with the club’s activities. Community social programs can provide an accessible chance for residents to stay engaged locally, particularly as regular fall meetings resume.
The club’s next monthly member meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 11 a.m. at the Florham Park Community Center, 111 Ridgedale Ave. Social time, with coffee, begins at 10:45 a.m. Health-care nurse Michael Camara is expected to provide blood-pressure monitoring before the meeting. The program will feature Bob Sandler of SherCare Senior Services speaking about fall prevention, including home modifications, mobility, medication review and other practical considerations for aging safely at home.
Members will also hold an autumn social on Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Senior Center. The club said advance sign-up is required for that member-only gathering.
