N.C. Cooperative Extension, Burke County had a great time at the pirate themed East Burke Senior Center's Senior Appreciation Event!

We enjoyed visiting with everyone and sharing resources on agriculture and gardening as you age, exercising with diabetes, and ways to get involved by volunteering with 4-H. Participants also had the chance to test their knowledge and have a little fun with some interactive games!

We are grateful for opportunities like this to connect with members of our community, share helpful resources, and support healthy, active, and engaged living at every age.

Thank you to the East Burke Senior Center for inviting us to be part of such a wonderful event! ❤️
