This Senior Events calendar was developed by community volunteers and WKU students.
This Senior Events calendar was developed by community volunteers and WKU students. It is part of the Age Friendly Cities project supported by the City of Bowling Green and WKU Aging/Center for Gerontology. For more information see www.wku.edu/aging.
Statement of Purpose:
This bulletin is designed to inform citizens 50 and older in the Bowling Green area about events, programs and services offered that

among a variety of organizations and the community of adults aged 50+. We would appreciate any feedback you may have. For comments or any additions you would
like to see on next month’s flier, please email us at aging@wku.edu.
