Welcome to The Mecca Center's Weekly Wellness Walks for the month of May. This is one of several events the Mental Health Committee is planning to highlight May as Mental Health Awareness Month. We know that walking and especially walking outdoors is beneficial for our mental health. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to meet with friends and get outside and enjoy the beauty Allah has created around us.

We'll start with our first of 4 walks this Saturday, May 4th at 7am at Waterfall Glen. Please note the change in times for each of the walks. The 1st and last walks start at 7am and the 2nd and 3rd walks start at 9am.

Meeting spot: The waterfall parking lot on Bluff Rd. You'll take Cass south all the way until it turns into Bluff Rd and there is a new parking lot on the R hand side. Here is a pin for the exact location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dJ9xhxW5cu2e7A2x7
