Norwalk Residents Invited To New Year's Walk Through Historic Silvermine

From Norwalk Heath Department: The Norwalk Health Department, the Healthy for Life Project, and Silvermine NorWALKers invite Norwalk residents to a 2.5-mile neighborhood walk tomorrow, January 7, beginning at 8:00 am at Silvermine Elementary School (157 Perry Avenue).

Following the successful October 2016 launch of a neighborhood walking group in Silvermine, Norwalk residents Deborah Lewis and Lance Zimmerman will be guiding fellow NorWALKers on the group’s first walk of the new year. The walk will take place rain or shine and will follow Loop 2 of Silvermine’s NorWALKer Walking Routes map, found here: http://www.norwalkct.org/DocumentCenter/View/9754.

After the walk through scenic Silvermine, all walkers are invited to the Silvermine Market for breakfast (not provided) and conversation about how to build and sustain this neighborhood walking program in the Silvermine community. No sign-up is required to attend. For more information, please contact Deborah Lewis at dlewis@bredeson.com.
