LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING
As springtime calls us to be outdoors and enjoy nature, AAPS will be hitting the trails and enjoying time in our local and regional parks. Morning coffee chats, lunches, social hours/dinners, picnics/games at the park and lifelong learning opportunities are also scheduled for you to experience. Check out all the great programs and activities and plan to join us. It’s a great way to meet new people and learn what others are doing for fun. Information is posted at highlandsranch.org/activeadult. For availability and to register, visit highlandsranch.org/signmeup. Trouble registering? Call 303-791-2710 and our staff will assist you.
