Now that we can walk outdoors, you might want to pick up a copy of the (free) AFCI “Walking Bethel” map at many sites throughout the community.
AFCI’s very popular Walk the Gym program is now drawing to a close – see you next year. Thank you for your continuing collaboration, Gould Academy, and the Bethel Rec Board! This season was the best since its inception in our founding year, 2016. Did you see the recent Citizen front page story about it?
N2N (Neighbor to Neighbor) Rides Program: call our service number (below) for a free ride to medical appointments or for shopping, educational or social outings.

Tips (from a recent New York Times story): “The average life expectancy in the United States is 76 — but our retirement age was set at 65 several decades ago. It has since risen to 67 for those born after 1960. Should it go even higher?” We’ll certainly be hearing much more about this!
