Transportation is Now Available to the Center
Are you
looking to get to the center to spend a fun filled day, come for
lunch or a special event? We can now provide you with transportation
to the Senior Center. Several volunteers have stepped forward
to help us out by providing rides. All you have to do is call the
center and we will give you name, information and request to one of
our volunteers. They will then give you a call to work out the
details.
We would still like to recruit some more volunteer drivers so, if
you would like to help us out it would be appreciated.
With your help we hope to be able to accommodate all requests.
A Note from the Attorney General's
Office
Wed., July 14th we had a presentation from the Attorney Generals
office. The information below is provided by them pertaining
to their Smart Seniors Program. Any questions or concerns may
be addressed by contacting the number or website listed below.
The Office of the Attorney General of New
York State is
committed to bringing to justice those who defraud, exploit and
abuse New York's senior
citizens. From deceptive prescription
drug plans to
elder abuse in nursing homes, from phony sweepstakes to bogus
charities, from identity
theft to internet
scams - these crimes not only rob you of your hard-earned savings,
but may also jeopardize your health and dignity.
Smart Seniors: Stopping Scam Artists Before They Strike is a
presentation tailored to inform seniors of their rights under state
law, and lays out steps to take to protect their health and assets.
The presentation begins with a discussion about ways to spot common
scams that target seniors - by telephone, mail order or the
internet. It also addresses ways to access quality
health care and
protect investments. A discussion of how to ensure your health care
wishes are known and honored through Advance
Directives is also
included.
