Lakewood Seniors Test Their Brain-Power

As we all make plans for the new year, consider joining forces with the seniors of the Lakewood Division of Aging as they test their abilities in the inaugural Northeast Ohio Mind Challenge. We will be upholding Lakewood’s honor, as we match wits with the seniors from 20 other greater Cleveland area senior centers.

The Northeast Ohio Mind Challenge for the New Majority is a team-based trivia contest. Senior centers will be matched up with each other based on their geographic location. Inter-center competition will begin in February, and run through May, when we will match up the top two teams in a finals competition. The objective of this exciting series of events is to encourage team-building within each of the centers, as well as strengthening lines of communication and cooperation between the centers.

The first phase of the contest will begin on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, when Lakewood holds its own internal competition. Anyone, 50 years of age or older, is welcome to come out and test their knowledge. Staff from Get Lucky Trivia Company will run the afternoon contest for us.

The six top point-getters will make up Lakewood’s team. There will be four team members, with two alternates. All January participants will receive a complementary T-shirt.

Participant pre-registrations must be completed and turned in to the Lakewood Division of Aging Activities Office no later than Friday, December 14, 2018.

Come to the Lawther Center, 16024 Madison Ave. to complete the registration. There is no charge for this program.

Please contact the Lakewood Division of Aging Activities Office with any questions by calling 216-529-5005, or by emailing barry.wemyss@Lakewoodoh.net.

Consider joining us for this fun event. We are looking for spectators as well as competitors.

Come on out. It will be fun!
