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

Here are some tips about using the 9-1-1 system:

When Should I call 9-1-1?

• Save a life

• Stop a crime

• Report a fire

Anytime help is needed from police, fire or ambulance

personnel, 9-1-1 should be your first call in an emergency.

9-1-1-Calling Tips:

• Stay calm and speak clearly.

• Be sure to listen carefully and answer all of the dispatcher’s

• questions, to the best of your ability. If possible, do not hang up

until the 9-1-1 dispatcher has obtained all of the information

that is needed.

find out if you are eligible for a free caption phone.

Captions are displayed on the screen in near

real-time during conversations.

1/24 – Sue Stein of Mass Audiology presents: Did

you say cool, pool, school, tool or rule///or time,

dime, or dine? Have you ever played Wheel of

Fortune in your head trying to figure out what

someone said? Do you find yourself asking other to

repeat themselves or sitting back and nodding your

head because you didn’t understand? Join us for a

light hearted and informative program on hearing

and hearing loss. Take a look at your eardrum.

Come with questions and experiences to share.

Refreshments will be served.

You asked, and we listened. You’re getting a new Medicare card! Between April 2018 and April 2019, we’ll be

removing Social Security numbers from Medicare cards and mailing each person a new card. This will help keep

your information more secure and help protect your identity.

You’ll get a new Medicare Number that’s unique to you, and it will only be used for your Medicare coverage. The

new card won’t change your coverage or benefits. You’ll get more information from Medicare when your new card

is mailed.

Beware of anyone who contacts you about your new Medicare card.

We’ll never ask you to give us personal or private information to get

your new Medicare Number and card.

Understand that mailing everyone a new card will take some time. Your

card might arrive at a different time than your friend’s or neighbor’s.

VOLUNTEER NEWS

If you would like to help deliver poinsettias to the homebound please

call Cathy.

We are looking for some folks who would be willing to help shovel seniors out during the snowy

winter months. If you would be willing to help out in your neighborhood please let me know. This

is just walkways and steps, not full driveways and not clearing sidewalks. We just want folks to be

able to access the homes in case of emergency.

Also please remember to check on your neighbors who may need some help this winter. The cold

weather and snow can be very isolating for those who do not have family nearby. If you know

someone who could use a friendly visitor please call Cathy.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Evening Book Club – The Book Club will meet next on Monday, January 8th at 5:30 PM. The book

Sara back home, she learns more about Margaret Van Buren in the wake of her death than she

ever knew in life. After her last remaining family member dies, Sara Jenkins goes home to The

Hideaway, her grandmother Mags’s ramshackle B&B in Sweet Bay, Alabama. She intends to quickly tie up loose ends

then return to her busy life and thriving antique shop in New Orleans. Instead, she learns Mags has willed The Hideaway

to her and charged her with renovating it—no small task considering her grandmother’s best friends, a motley crew of

senior citizens, still live there. Rather than hurrying back to New Orleans, Sara stays in Sweet Bay and begins the biggest

house-rehabbing project of her career. Amid drywall dust, old memories, and a charming contractor, she discovers that

slipping back into life at The Hideaway is easier than she expected. Then she discovers a box Mags left in the attic with

clues to a life Sara never imagined for her grandmother. With help from Mags’s friends, Sara begins to piece together the

mysterious life of bravery, passion, and choices that changed her grandmother’s destiny in both marvelous and

devastating ways. When an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a

choice—stay in Sweet Bay and fight for the house and the people she’s grown to love or leave again and return to her

successful but solitary life in New Orleans. Please call Paula at 978 762-0208 x104 if you will be attending.

items for the month of December: coffee, tea, sugar, creamer, crackers and as always personal size hygiene items. Please drop off items at

Medical Equipment—We are currently in need of bath benches. We are not accepting any other items at this time. We will update

monthly any items needed. These items are loaned to seniors at no charge to assist them in their recuperation. You may drop these items off

at the front desk at the Senior Center if you have any to donate.

Facebook—Did you know that you can get current updates on activities, classes, etc. just by liking us on Facebook? We update on a regular

basis any changes/additions in our activities and on any programming. Search for us at: Danvers Council on Aging and Senior Center, click

Circle of Hope-Does someone close to you (spouse/partner, child, grandchild, or trusted caregiver) withhold your medication, use your

money without permission, limit your phone calls, or tell you when or where you can go? Do you feel that nothing you ever do or say is

“right?” If so, you are not alone. Are you looking to be among peers in a safe space to share your experience? Help us help you, by joining a

free educational support group for seniors over 50 every Tuesday from 11 am to 12 pm at the Danvers Council on Aging. This group is

completely confidential. The group is sponsored by CALL-NS, Confronting Abuse in Later Life-North Shore, a grant which aims to provide
