Age-Friendly Fremont Newsletter, January 2023

The Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth requests your participation and support at the 16th Annual Crab Feed. This popular event provides the best of both worlds in 2023, consisting of a drive thru AND dine in option. Funds raised from this event benefit the Age Well Center’s delicious and affordable meal program and serves as the only major fundraiser of the year!

Both the drive-thru and dine-in Crab Feed will take place at the Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth located at 40086 Paseo Padre Pkwy on Friday February 17th. For those whom enjoyed eating the crab at home last year with who they choose, the drive-thru meal pick up time will be from 12.00—1.00pm. 1½ pounds of succulent crab with all the fixings will be provided. For those who enjoy being around the energy of others, purchasing adult beverages and trying your luck at our raffle, doors open at 5.30pm and dinner will be served at 6.00pm. The crab dinner will be all you can eat, like in years past. No outside alcohol is allowed, but we will have adult beverages for sale at the dine in event only. Each crab dinner is $75.

To purchase your dinner, simply go to: city.fremont.gov/awcclasses today! You may also stop by between 8am and 3pm M—F, call 510.790.6600 or email agewellcenters@fremont.gov (credit cards only). If you believe in what the Age Well Center has been doing for the past 42 years and wish to be a sponsor of this popular community event, please call Monica Gloria at 510.790.6606.
