Bingo, Smoothies, and Cyber Scam Safety
Join us for a fun and informative gathering designed especially for older adults. This interactive program begins with a classic game of Bingo, offering an opportunity to socialize, connect with peers, and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Participants will then enjoy a healthy smoothie demonstration and tasting, highlighting simple nutrition tips that support energy, hydration, and overall wellness.

The program concludes with an educational discussion on cyber scam awareness. Participants will learn how to recognize common phone, email, and online scams targeting older adults, along with practical strategies to protect personal information and financial security.

How Not to Die is a bold feature documentary based on the international bestselling book of the same name by Dr. Michael Greger. This movie plays like a fast-paced action thriller but is packed with hard-hitting data that just might save your life.

The film offers jaw-dropping, evidence-based insights into the prevention of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, liver dysfunction, and a spectrum of brain disorders, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. It also addresses how diet influences the development of colon, prostate, and other digestive cancers, delivering life-saving information with clarity and authority.
