All are invited to “Walk and Talk” with friends and neighbors on a weekly basis, each Tuesday starting March 25th at 1:30 pm. The group will meet in the joint Old Forge Library and Niccolls Church parking lot at 220 Crosby Blvd.

Niccolls Nurses conceived the idea as a way to provide both socialization and movement to those interested and the library wanted in on the action. The many benefits to be had by walking and talking include controlling blood pressure, lowering risk of chronic disease, maintaining healthy weight, fighting cancer, improving heart health, enhancing mental health, boosting mood, reducing stress, strengthening bones and being happier because you are socializing with fun people.

Walk and Talk Tuesdays will take place through May 27. There will be a group leader on hand and distance and pace will be adjusted to be comfortable for each walker.
