Frugal Summer Fun For Seniors

No, I don't mean seniors in high school.  I mean those who are "chronologically gifted", as one of my sisters who is an NP in a long term care facility in Carmel endearingly referrers to her patients.  If in need of acute long term care, NO ONE loves her patients more than she does.

Anyways, the Fort Wayne Parks and Rec has once again come through with free entertainment and enrichment, this time for the 50 and over set.  Here is a list of some free/inexpensive entertainment offerings.
  • Free Legal Counseling provided by Beers, Mallers, Backs and Salin, LLC.
    • Provided at the Community Center on the first Friday of every month
    • Call 427-6460 to make an appointment
    • Offered to persons age 50 and over
  • Lunch series providing education for "both current and future healthcare needs"
    • Program is free (including lunch), but must pre-register by calling 427-6460
    • Dates include

      • Thursday August 4
    • Both dates offer a 10:45 and 11:45 sessions
  • Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP)

    • Visit the Fort Wayne Parks and Rec website for a complete schedule.  The games schedule is found by scrolling to the middle of the page.  Also, stop by the Community Center for a schedule of events or refer to your Fun Times Magazine on page 66.
I think we should be happy for every day that The Good Lord has blessed us with, so being a senior is something to be proud of!
