The group will meet in the joint Old Forge Library and Niccolls Church parking lot at 220 Crosby Blvd, each Tuesday starting September 24th at 1:30 pm.

Niccolls Nurses conceived the idea as a way to provide both socialization and movement to those interested and the library wanted in on the action.

The many benefits to be had by walking and talking include:

• controlling blood pressure
• lowering the risk of chronic disease
• maintaining a healthy weight
• fighting cancer
• improving heart health
• enhancing mental health
• boosting mood
• reducing stress
• strengthening bones
• and being happier because you are socializing with fun people.

Walk and Talk Tuesdays will take place September 24 - November 26 @ 1:30 pm

There will be a group leader on hand and distance and pace will be adjusted to be comfortable for each walker.  

The Old Forge Library will have pedometers available to anyone who would like to keep track of steps from mid-September through Thanksgiving.
