What does "good" look like? It looks like a community that never stops moving, playing, and thriving—no matter what year they were born.
This past Tuesday evening, the Rotary Club of Houston Skyline had the privilege of hosting Fritz McDonald, Founder of the Great Age Movement.
Fritz shared the incredible story behind the growth of his organization and hit home a vital truth: staying active and "playing" isn't just for kids. Continuous movement is the key to maintaining our health, fitness, and independence as we get older. He even got us out of our seats for a brief, hands-on introduction to some of the workouts they provide for senior citizens right here in Houston!
When we support visionary organizations that design spaces and programs for seniors to thrive, we guarantee that tomorrow is better than today for every generation in our city.
Don't just read about our impact—come be a part of it! Here is how you can get involved and join the Skyline family this month:
🌳 Friday, April 24th (Partner Event): Age on the Green!
Head down to Discovery Green from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM for the Great Age Movement's free health and wellness music festival. All ages are welcome to enjoy live jazz, hula hooping, shuffleboard, a Houston Ballet movement class, and a senior fashion show!
🌿 Sunday, April 26th (Social & Service): Bayous + Berries + Bikes + Brews!
Join us on White Oak Bayou with A Tale of Two Bridges as we slow down, learn to spot local birds with our community, and enjoy a relaxing spring afternoon. Skyliners will be showing others how to use Merlin Bird ID and iNaturalist to learn more about our wild neighbors we share Houston with!
From AToTB:
"We’re bringing people together along White Oak Bayou to:
– pick free wild blackberries (yes, really)
– hang out with local greenspace + bayou groups
– make fresh blackberry cobbler on-site
– and enjoy drinks + good company"
Send us a message to RSVP or learn more.
