Seniors Participate in National Walking Event

Approximately 50 seniors from the Northampton Senior Center participated in the National Walk@Lunch Day this week.

This was the third year that the Northampton Senior Center held their walk. It was led by Sheila Jobs and Kathy Gurevitch of the Senior Center administration and Northampton Supervisors Kimberly Rose and Eileen Silver.

Participants did a two-mile walk on Township Road.  Assisting in the event were people from Independence Blue Cross and several students from the Drexel University nursing program.  

This year's walk was dedicated to the memory of former Northampton Supervisor and Senior Center member James E. Kinney, who passed away on April 19.

National Walk@Lunch Day is an extension of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association's WalkingWorks program.
