Fit & Well Seniors is a wellness program which caters to the needs of DC seniors, many of whom are widowed, living on modest income, and have limited access to activities. Launched in 2010 in partnership with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, this program helps seniors find movement and vitality—all free of charge. Thanks to a grant from the Department of Aging and Community Living the Fit & Well Seniors program is now part of the DACL’s Senior Services Network. Sign up by visiting the YMCA or calling (202) 232-6700.

KAMA in the Kitchen: Thai Desserts with Bess:
Feeling down now that summer is coming to a close? Looking for something to fulfill your sweet tooth on a fall night? Look no further than KAMA DC’s next cooking class, introducing Thai Sweets with Bess! Bess was born and raised in Thailand, but really embraced cooking while living in China to keep the comforts of home alive. Bess moved to the US in 2018 and is a graphic designer. Look forward to a night learning to make Bua Loy, a traditional recipe from Pandan, Thailand that is similar to bubble tea, pumpkin rice balls, and purple sweet potato rice balls! This class is in partnership with KAMA DC, an organization that brings together diverse groups of people and immigrants to learn from one another in fun, interactive classes geared toward creating inclusive communities.
