Now you know...about traveling around the Bay

 

Many thanks to Donatella Zepplin from Mastick Senior Center and Samson Wong from BART for the expertise they shared with the Elders Village Talks audience at the Alameda Main Library on March 18th. The topic, " Your Personal Guide to Public Transit Options for Seniors" provided a wealth of information about how seniors can best take advantage of local transit.   A lively question and answer session followed.  

The next Elders Village Talk on "Volunteering and its Surprising Benefits" will be held on Thursday, April 16th. The public is invited and reservations can be made through the Elders Village office, 510-217-8527.

Heart Healthy -- Feb. 6, 2015

We're wearing red today at the Lodge on Harbor Bay to celebrate National Wear Red Day and to motivate our loved ones to participate in the nationwide heart health movement.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), HHS Office on Women's Health, and many other groups celebrate the day each year to raise awareness that heart disease is the #1 killer of men and women and is largely preventable. 

Here at AEC Living, we hope you and your friends and family will join us in taking the important steps and commit to protecting your heart.
