AGE WELL WEST-WIN
Valuable Resources for People who are over 55
And for People who Know People over 55
• How many candles were on your last birthday cake? Has your family started putting only one candle for each decade as they fear that the smoke alarm will hail the fire department?
• Did you know that AARP starts recruiting its members at age 50? Yes, they consider a 50 year old a senior citizen!
Whether you are a senior citizen or you know someone who is, you may be asking yourself, “What services are available in and near the West-Win area?” Our October speakers will be answering that question.
Our main speaker will be Kristen Ritchie, Community Services Manager for DuPage County Senior Services. She will talk to us about AGE WELL DUPAGETM, a program which identifies information and services provided by the DuPage County Division of Senior Services that promote healthy aging. AGE WELL DUPAGETM includes information from hotlines to websites and everything in between.
Other speakers will address the services specific to their departments. We will also provide handouts about Elder Law and about WWAYS, a program which offers senior computer classes where seniors teach other seniors such things as how to text from their phone and how to create a Facebook page.
We hope you will join us at the General Meeting on October 26th for this important topic.
