New Music Program Aims To Connect Brick Seniors' Minds, Spirits

BRICK, NJ — Brick Township Senior Services is offering a new program for residents that mixes fun activities with music and socializing.

The program, called Musical Connections, is a science-based program "that stimulates the brain and body, promotes both social interaction and music engagement and strengthens sense of community," Brick Township officials said.

It will be held at the Brick Senior Center, 500 Aurora Drive, on the first and third Tuesdays of the month, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 6. It runs from 1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

"This music-related community service program is led by a passionate, strong-minded high schooler and is the result of a combination of a Brick Township High School STEM Academy Passion Project and a Girl Scout Gold Award project," Brick officials said.

It has the support not only of Brick Township officials including Mayor Lisa Crate, but help and support from Brick Township High School administration and student clubs, the Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, the Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses "that graciously donated their time, talents and resources to make this possible."

Call 732-920-8686 to register for the program.
