LOOK TWICE,
SAVE A LIFE
Spring is here and warmer weather means there are
more motorcycles on the road and you should be
very aware of your surroundings. Before you pull
out in the street make sure you look twice please ……….. motorcycles are everywhere and can be
difficult to see in the road especially the black
ones! Like mine!! So take an extra minute or so to
look out for that motorcycle that just might be
me ridin’ on down the road!!

who have lost a loved one and a valued member of our senior center. Please extend your sympathy to the

Bring your own beverage.
The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria’s remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim, a young
cler, travels from India to participate in the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find
favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held
position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her
household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to
see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.

change in your life-saving meds, address change, death or divorce of a spouse or simply a
change of emergency contact. We DO rely on these cards so we like to have up-to-date
information. Thanks so much!!

Hamburg Seniors Share ……..May
“March winds, April showers bring us May Flowers” has been our theme since March.
It’s now May and we will take the first theme ever offered in the suggestion
envelope (located on the photo board), May Flowers!! Start looking for pictures of your
past gardens, bouquets, corsages ………. even guys with boutonnieres! Get Creative
and think spring!!
If you add your name on the back or below your photo, (if you mount it on
another piece of paper) it will be returned at the end of each month in the large
envelope on the photo board located next to our library. You are also welcome to
suggest themes for upcoming months as well!! The suggestion for this month was
anonymously dropped in the envelope quite some time ago and was really appreciated. It’s challenging
thinking up new themes!!

Get ready for the 10th Annual CAREGIVER
FAIR! If you are in the position of caring for a

all information possible to help you in that care.
One way of doing that is to attend the
Caregiver Fair with over 60 vendors who are in
the caregiving field. There will be 3 separate
speakers from Alzheimers, AAA1-b and the
Senior Brigade plus the Big Red Barrel for
medication disposal and free document
shredding. Admission is free!

Tech Time
We are going to re-institute a specific time for computer, tablet and smart
phone help. On many occasions we are asked to help out with your techie
questions but sometimes the timing is just not great. So to make it easier on us, we are going to ask you to please
make an appointment on Wednesdays between 1:00 and 3:00 pm if you need
any assistance that is more complicated in nature. If it’s easy-peasy, then just
come on Wednesdays between 1:00 and 3:00 and unless we are busy with
someone who has made an appointment, we can help.
Peace of Mind Seminar
Join us as Borek-Jennings comes in present information on how to plan for your final wishes. You will learn

financial burdens and learn more about pre-arrangements, veterans benefits, cremation, burials and
much more.
