MEAC: Fun, free and low-cost activities during Seniors’ Month

THIS October, the Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre (MEAC) are celebrating Seniors’ Month with a full calendar of free and low-cost activities designed to bring people together. With events running from Tuesday, October 7 to Thursday, October 30, there’s something on offer almost every day, because why celebrate for just a week when you can enjoy a whole month?

The program launches on October 7 with As the Crow Flies—a true Aussie show presented in a relaxed style with verse, yarns and songs. On October 8, Merritt’s Funerals and Mooroopna Cemetery Trust will host an informative session on preparing for a funeral. The following day features 3D printing demonstrations with morning tea provided.
