MERIDEN - When health is a top concern — whether it is because of dieting or simply living a healthy lifestyle — desserts can seem off-limits. But they don’t have to be. The free program, “Healthy and Fun Desserts,” will demonstrate that there are several ways to satisfy a sweet tooth without jeopardizing health goals. This event will be held Monday, April 17, 10 a.m., at Meriden Senior Center, 22 W. Main St.

This program will be led by Heather Hitchcock, Community Outreach manager, Hartford HealthCare Senior Services, and Kathy Matula, recreation coordinator. To register, call Meriden Senior Center at 203.237.0066.
