August at Fort Greene Council is bursting with warmth, creativity, and heartfelt recognition. This month, we shine a special spotlight on the people, programs, and events that keep our communities thriving.

Honoring National & World Senior Citizens Day

August gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate the wisdom, dedication, and contributions of our older adults. From the vibrant conversations in our clubs to the impactful leadership behind the scenes, we’re reminded daily of how much our elders shape and inspire our communities.

We’re proud to recognize Lois James, Program Director at Grant Square Older Adult Club, for her unwavering dedication, creativity, and compassionate leadership. Whether she’s organizing a themed celebration, crafting beautiful spaces, or advocating for members’ needs, Lois embodies the heart and spirit of Fort Greene Council.

Summer Fun Across Our Clubs

From colorful arts and crafts displays to lively outdoor activities, our Older Adult Clubs have been buzzing with energy. Members have been embracing the joys of summer through music, games, delicious treats, and creative expression. These moments remind us that connection, joy, and learning are timeless.
