A long time resource for older adults, with offices in Center City Philadelphia, The SeniorLAW Center has recently opened a location in Media to address financial exploitation of older adults. Come learn more about this important legal resource for older adults and about how to protect yourself from identity theft, fraud, and scams.

Wednesday October 4 at 10:45 AM As we age, one key ingredient for maintaining our health is our ability to play an active role in our own medical care, especially with our prescribed medications. Our friends at Regional Pharmacy will be here with an information packed medication management class that will leave you feeling educated and empowered!

Thursday October 5 at 10:45 AM Feel the rhythm! Negar and Michelle from Synergy Home Care will be here to lead us in a Drumming Circle.

Tuesday October 10 at 10:45 AM Seasons Hospice will be here with donuts and coffee, and to lead us in a game of trivia!

Wednesday October 11 at 10:45 AM As we age, we experience changes in our vision. Candy Bantum from the Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired will be here with an important presentation on Glaucoma. After the presentation she will also be offering free screenings with the SPOT, a computerized camera that screens your vision.

Thursday October 19 at 10:45 AM You are what you eat! Do environmental and life-style related factors, such as nutrition, have an effect on cancer and other diseases? Main Line Health will be here with the presentation, Fighting Cancer with a Fork and Spoon.

Tuesday October 24 at 6 PM Join us as Wayne Senior Center and Radnor Memorial Library co-host a 2018 Medicare Annual Enrollment Presentation.

Upcoming Speakers at Wayne Senior Center

The pAge Turners Reading Group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 10:30 AM. Come and join us! Our meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 20. We will be discussing A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Ove is a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others.

On Wednesday, October 18 at 10:30 AM the group is discussing War and Turpentine by Stefan Hertmans. The life of Urbain Martien—artist, soldier, survivor of World War I—lies contained in two notebooks he left behind when he died in 1981. In War and Turpentine, his grandson, a writer, retells his grandfather’s story, the notebooks providing a key to the locked chambers of Urbain’s memory. With vivid detail, the grandson recounts a whole life: Urbain as the child of a lowly church painter, retouching his father’s work; dodging death in a foundry; fighting in the war that altered the course of history; marrying the sister of the woman he truly loved; being haunted by an ever-present reminder of the artist he had hoped to be and the soldier he was forced to become. War and Turpentine paints an extraordinary portrait of one man’s life and reveals how that life echoed down through the generations.

Katie will have copies of both books.
