Fairmont Community Education and Recreation and CREST have joined forces on the production of a free, monthly senior citizen newsletter called “Keep in Touch.” The program will be a one-page, front and back, newsletter. It’s something with suggestions for staying active. It might include mind teasers, word searches, simple recipes, healthy living tips, or a suggested video to watch. If someone wants to be included on the mailing list, contact either the CER office at (507) 235-3141 or the CREST office at (507) 235-3833.
