The publication was mailed to about 1,000 seniors in town this month and is jammed with information on planned activities. Its goal is to inform seniors about health issues and programs available at or through the center. For instance, the COA informed seniors that a van is available to them Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and once a month each Monday or Wednesday for Senior Health Clinic Day.
Seniors can use the van for doctor visits and grocery shopping.
To use the van, the COA suggests seniors try to call at least 24 hours in advance. The number is 763-9557. COA Director Theresa Velozo has decided to let the seniors choose a new title for the newsletter. The last page of the newsletter includes an entry blank for those wishing to enter a name. The publication is paid for with advertising from local merchants.
