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.

Senior Prom at the Waters Edge Lodge

Dancing to Jim Franz Band, Waters Edge Lodge residents and their guests rocked the night away at their Senior Prom on June 13th.

Refreshments and hors d'oeuvre fueled the fun as the Jim and his band played tunes from the 40's, 50's, and 60's.  Dancers loved the live music and the enthusiastic encouragement of the crowd.

A Senior Prom photo booth and a silver and blue starry decor set the scene for a very memorable evening that was enjoyed by all. For one of our residents, it was the first Senior Prom she had ever attended.

Waters Edge Lodge residents enjoy live music every day as part of the Lodge's Activities program. Next on the special event agenda are plans for a community band performance and a Monte Carlo night.
