NCRGEA Events

NCRGEA Events

The Association holds events to provide social and educational opportunities for its members. These events provide a way for retirees to stay engaged and connected, and to pursue new interests. The goal is to promote the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of retirees and to foster a sense of community among them.

These events are held in-person and virtually throughout the year at no cost to the members.
