Free walk and talk for people in recovery
Richie’s Road to Recovery presents a free Recovery Walk and Talk, every Friday at 10 a.m. The walks offer an opportunity for people in recovery to talk with others also in recovery, who understand the life experiences faced by people in this position.
To join the walks, meet at the Lyman Reserve, Head of the Bay Road, on the Plymouth/Bourne/Wareham town line, by the picnic tables in the dirt parking lot. Text Richie at 339-832-5387 with any questions.
