Owl Hour is a once a month gathering for retired individuals to learn, socialize and expand their horizons. Each session will last approximately an hour. We will be bringing programs and education in a relaxed and fun environment to promote socialization for retired individuals in our district's.

Gatherings will happen in Yates Center on Monday, St. Paul on Tuesday, Fort Scott on Wednesday and Iola on Thursday on the second full week of the month @ 10:00 A.M.

Activities included are fun and educational events like container gardening, fraud awareness, cooking for one or two, bonding with grandkids through boardgames, and much more! These events will be held with the hope of battling the ongoing problem of social isolation within our aging population. Hopefully these gatherings become a launching point for the retired community to socialize and grow in our community!
