Woodbury Mews Introduces Complimentary Classes for Seniors

Variety of Offerings Enhance the Mind, Body and Spirit; Many Have Fall and Holiday Themes

Woodbury, N.J.. –Woodbury Mews, a Watermark Retirement Community, has released its Fall 2018 Watermark University catalog. Now through December, the community offers residents and area seniors more than 35 class and program options, from yoga and ballroom dancing to cooking instruction and poetry readings.

Classes are made available to Woodbury Mews residents and Gloucester County seniors because of the Woodbury Mews residents, associates, loved ones and guest experts who share their time and talents as instructors. Woodbury Mews Community Life Director Susan Sacks encourages area seniors to take advantage of these mostly complimentary classes.

“Watermark University allows us to open our doors to the community and invite area seniors to participate in our activities, which offer mind, body and spiritual enhancement and provide opportunities to build new friendships,” she said.
