The City of Lansing officially joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities Thursday, an important step in preparing to accommodate a rapidly aging population.
AARP Michigan took part in a two-day “livable communities” event on Capital Avenue in downtown Lansing on July 28-29. The intent was to demonstrate the benefits of a friendlier pedestrian environment and encourage greater use of public space.
Occupational Therapist Michael O'Connor opened his HomeFit workshop with a picture slide of Dorothy's ruby slippers, heels clicking together, from The Wizard of Oz.
