What a wonderful gathering at today’s Seniors on the Go luncheon! It was so nice to see familiar faces and welcome newcomers. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our wonderful volunteers who helped make it all possible! ❤️
Thank you to Jesse Golden, who discussed avoiding internet theft and scams as part of our Foothill Computer Literacy Program, and Heidi Shelton, who shared information about Medicare prescription changes.
Zachary and Michael were also there to assist the public with Chromebook and internet use, as well as printing. We hope to continue offering this service at each luncheon!
Here are the announcements we shared:
🐾 Possible Foothill Senior Pet Care Assistance Program
We’re exploring a possible grant-funded program to help older adults with veterinary expenses, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, medications, and urgent or medically necessary care.
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey today! Your responses will help us document the need and determine what assistance would be most useful before we apply for funding.
We also want to hear from people who have delayed their pet’s care because of cost or hesitate to have a pet because of future veterinary bills. Completing the survey does not guarantee assistance, and you do not have to complete it to qualify for a future program.
🍂 YFACA Fundraising Harvest Dinner
Saturday, November 7, at 4 PM at the Alcouffe Center
Veterans eat free! Please come enjoy dinner and support YFACA. Thank you for supporting our community programs!
We’re also gathering raffle prizes. If you have something to donate or know someone who does, please let us know. We’ll launch the raffle at our next luncheon, and you do not have to be present at the Saturday dinner to win.
💻 Computer Learning and Assistance Will Continue!
We just received an additional 50 Chromebooks under our grant, and we’re taking sign-ups for continued learning, small-group discussions, and computer assistance. Connect with us to sign up!
🌲 Wildfire Fuel Reduction Program
The Yuba County Resource Conservation District’s CAL FIRE grant-funded program helps reduce forest underbrush and wildfire fuels, with Dobbins and Oregon House as priority areas.
Paper applications are available in the Little Free Library at the entrance to the Alcouffe Center. You can also apply online at https://yubarcd.org—look under Quicklinks for the application.
Thank you for being part of Seniors on the Go. We look forward to seeing you again! ❤️
