A month of exciting activities for seniors

THIS October, Mooroopna Education & Activity Centre (MEAC) is set to celebrate Seniors Month with an exciting lineup of free and low-cost activities, offering something for everyone. In addition to their regular programs, MEAC will host a variety of events throughout the month, designed to entertain, engage, and inform the local community.

The Seniors Festival kicks off on October 1 with a fun-filled Australian Trivia event, perfect for testing your Aussie knowledge. Later that week, arc Justice and Elder Rights Advocacy will provide valuable advice and information to those seeking support.

Movie lovers can enjoy a screening of Driving Miss Daisy on October 8, and for the creative at heart, a scrapbooking life experience workshop will be held on October 14, with limited spots available (just $5 per person).

On October 22 and 23, MEAC offers practical sessions focused on living at home for longer, followed by a hands-on clay turtle craft class, open to 20-35 participants.

Wrapping up the festivities is an early Melbourne Cup event, supported by Greater Shepparton City Council. With a mix of entertainment, education, and creativity, there’s something for everyone at MEAC.
