TRIAD CORNER

The Danvers TRIAD Council is a partnership which includes the Sheriff and

District Attorney of Essex County, the Danvers Police and Fire Chiefs, the Council

on Aging and supportive services and seniors.

Seniors are often targeted by criminals. Though many criminals target seniors

from afar via telephone or internet scams, criminals seek to enter seniors’ homes. Home secu-

rity is

important for people of all ages, but especially so for seniors and aging individuals living along.

• Lock windows and doors. It may seem like common sense, but failure to repeatedly do this

can give burglars easy entry to your home.

• Think about a smart doorbell. Technology now enables doorbells to provide a video feed to

a person’s smartphone or tablet. Ring, another device, will even register motion activity from

outside your home. Check with a family member to see if one of these items could be installed

for you.

• Don’t share or leave keys. Avoid leaving keys under a mat or in a flower pot. Others may

be watching.

• Ask of ID. Verify credentials of a service person even if you have called for service.

Install a lockable mailbox. Locked mailboxes restrict access to sensitive information. Use

direct deposit for retirement checks, etc. instead of having a check sent.

Home security is serious business for seniors who are vulnerable to criminals.

Psychic Medium/Intuitive Reader event. Christian Anderson will be here on Thursday, August

15th, from 5-7:30 PM for metaphysical readings. Mediumship readings are a connection be-

tween Christian and the spirit realm. During a reading he is able to communicate with a loved

one on the other side. This is done in a group setting and limited to 10 people only. Cost for

this event is $55 FDCOA member/$65 non member. Registration in advance is required.

Popcorn & A Movie – Join us on

Tuesday, July 23 at 1 PM for

“Little” Plot: A successful but

ruthless executive who looks down

and torments everyone beneath her,

especially her abused yet loyal assistant,

gets magically transformed back to her

13-year old self. She must now rely on the

very people she bullied as she struggles to

reclaim her life. Rated PG-13 by the Motion

Picture Association of America for

sexuality. Please sign up at the front desk or

call the center at 978 762-0208 if you plan

on attending as seating can be limited.

Check in and you may win a

prize!!!! Are you using your card

to check in on “My Senior Cen-

ter” at the front desk

every time you come to the

center for a class, trip, activi-

ty or to enter your volunteer

hours? There is a new

category titled “Raffle”. Every day that you

are at the Senior Center and check in,

remember to touch on the Raffle option on

the first page and you will earn an entry into

the Raffle. A random winner will be selected

on the first business day of each month to

ensure that all entries from the previous

month are included. The winner was Marie

Comeau who won a $15 McKinnon’s gift

card. So remember to check in on the

computer each time you are here. If you

don’t have a card, stop by the front desk and

we’ll be happy to get you one!

Senator Joan Lovely

Senator Joan Lovely’s office will host

district hours at the Danvers Council on Aging

every other month. She will be here next on

Monday, July 8th, 9am-10am.

Appointments are encouraged and can be

made by phone at 617-722-1410 or by email at

[email protected] The Senators

office offers a range of constituent services

you have any questions or concerns regarding

state government, please feel free to contact

her or her staff.

Evening Book Club – The

Book Club will meet next on

Monday, July 15 at 5:30

PM. This month the book selected was The

Reckoning by John Grisham. Plot: Pete Banning

was Clanton, Mississippi’s favorite son—a

decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of

a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor,

and a faithful member of the Methodist

church. Then one cool October morning he rose

early, drove into town, and committed a

shocking crime. Pete's only statement about

it—to the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge,

to the jury, and to his family—was: "I have

nothing to say." He was not afraid of death and

was willing to take his motive to the grave. In

a major novel unlike anything he has written

before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible

journey, from the Jim Crow South to the

jungles of the Philippines during World War II;

from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the

Clanton courtroom where Pete’s defense

attorney tries desperately to save him. Please

call Paula at 978 762-0208 x104 if you will be

attending.
