We are CAN

We are a grassroots organization open to people 60 and older living in the 10960 zip code who want to lead vital, meaningful lives in our homes and community as we age. We share information and provide opportunities for social connections, volunteer services and support for our mutual benefit, so we may continue to learn, interact and contribute as we grow older. ​

Meeting Dates

We will continue meeting every other Friday, sometimes in person in the Community Room of the Nyack Library, and sometimes on Zoom. When we meet in person, everyone must be masked and fully vaccinated. We do check vaccination cards. On September 24, we will have our meeting on Zoom when Nancy Doherty will demonstrate some exercises that we can do at home. ​

"Older adults surpass younger adults on all measures, showing less stress, depression, worry, and anger, and more enjoyment, happiness, and satisfaction . . . .  People between sixty-five and seventy-nine years old report the highest levels of personal well-being, followed by those over eighty, and then those who are eighteen to twenty-one years old."
