The social component of aging well is a common thread in this article. Village in the Village offers a variety of social activities nearly every week. We love to visit with our friends and neighbors! ♥️

Aging happily at home takes more than money. Five resilient older adults share how community and knowing when to ask for help are just as important as finances.

ATTENTION: Movie Lovers! 🎬

Our Movie Club meets again on February 24 at 4 pm via Zoom. The next movie selection is Spirited Away:

10-year-old Chihiro (Daveigh Chase) moves with her parents to a new home in the Japanese countryside. After taking a wrong turn down a wooded path, Chihiro and her parents discover an amusement park with a stall containing an assortment of food. To her surprise, Chihiro's parents begin eating and then transform into pigs. In this supernatural realm, Chihiro encounters a host of characters and endures labor in a bathhouse for spirits, awaiting a reunion with her parents.

Everyone is welcome! Please email [email protected] if you would like to join the group. 🎥

“Researchers analyzing blood markers have recently discovered that volunteering appears to slow the aging process in seniors — a felicitous finding that adds to voluminous evidence that performing community service tends to improve things like mood and heart health, particularly for those of retirement age.”

Doing good does you good! Thanks to all the volunteers!

New research shows that you can lengthen your own life by improving someone else’s.

Dear Corrales Community Library Lovers,
We know you have given from your heart —you have donated and bought jewelry, you have given us new hardbacks after just one read, you have shopped our book sales for years, you have purchased memberships, made cash donations, and given to the Giving Tree. Still, we are here asking you to give of yourself once again. If you still have baubles to sell or know of a friend, relative, neighbor, or co-worker who might be willing to donate their old jewelry, please muster the courage and be cheeky enough to ask on our behalf. Our sales have been successful only because our patrons are selfless heroes. FOCL, the Staff, and our community thank you!
