So what will you do with all your newly found free time? Anything you want to! With all the special events, programming, and activities, every day is filled with possibilities!
Gregory and his wife first toured The Merion two years ago and have been in love with our community ever since. After moving in, Gregory immersed himself in a wide range of activities and programs, such as musical happenings, poetry readings, theatre, field trip opportunities, and current event discussions. Greg’s advice? “You will likely find several programs and activities that might interest you. Give them a trial run.”
