Our November Social Justice Discussion is to be about challenges facing seniors, and instead of hosting a zoom program we’re teaming up with the Bristol Recreation Department to PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO MIDDLEBURY for some great programming being offered by Elderly Services. These programs are 4:00-5:30pm in Middlebury:
"Emergency Preparedness for the Elderly" presented by retired Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley. According to Hanley, older adults are more vulnerable during a disaster because they are more likely to have impaired physical mobility, diminished sensory awareness, chronic health conditions, or social and economic limitations.
TRANSPORTATION:
If you want to join the BSJDG field trip and go in the Recreation Department Van together, email me to reserve your space (and I will RSVP to Elderly Services for us). We will meet in front of Holley Hall at 3:15pm and the van will depart Holley Hall at 3:30pm sharp!
If you want to drive to Middlebury on your own or with friends, RSVP to Elderly Services by calling Eileen Lawson 388-3983.
