Additional Information
Last summer, Anthem BCBS and Anthem Foundation brought a professional film crew to the Center to make a video. The video's focus is on the Aging Mastery Program, and the powerful impact that AMP and senior centers are having. The star of the 3 minute video is Carolyn, who took the AMP course right here at Woodbury Senior Center, and some of the other members of the Center. It was a long and exciting day of filming, and we are thrilled with the result. Take a look; watch now to see how Anthem's support of the Aging Mastery Program is making a difference right here in Woodbury, and across our nation. Happening NOW: AMP class is being offered virtually! We plan to offer the class again in September; call us for more information (203) 263-2828.
