The Tuesday and Thursday 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. elders’ language class taught by Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project (WLRP) instructors has been very popular since its inception back in 2014!

 

The class is funded by a Tribal Health and Elders Services’ Title VI Administration on Aging grant. Our instructors have created a fun and interactive conversational class tailored to elders’ language requests, and they are happy to have any and all elders drop in at 11:30 a.m. or at Noon!

 

Each class is followed by a free luncheon in the Tribal Community and Government Center gymnasium prepared by local caterers according to healthy nutrition guidelines for elders. Elders do not have to attend the language class to attend the Tuesday and Thursday Title VI elderly nutrition program luncheons. ALL are welcome!

 

Please call Donald Peters at (508) 477-0208 if you would like to sign up and attend the free lunches which are available for all those tribal members ages 55+.
