Why croquet?  Well, physical activity, social engagement and good health information are essential to stay healthy as we age.

Croquet is a great game for any age.  It can be played by the young of body and the young at heart.  Players can sit or stand, and be at just about any health level.

If you’re caring for an aging adult–or if you’re concerned about your own healthy aging–come out and play, and enjoy the opportunity to meet and connect with senior health professionals.  There’s no better way to have fun and learn about healthy aging.

Where: Walgreens at Mississippi and Peoria — 12051 E Mississippi Blvd.  Aurora CO

When: June 15th, beginning at 4:00 till we’re finished having fun.
