Scan and Make a Plan! Part 1

On Wednesday, August 17 at 1:00pm at the Senior Center, the Brookline Office of Emergency Management is coming to present a two-part program called Scan and Make a Plan!

The purpose of this program is to stress the importance of being ready in case of an emergency. Having a communication plan in place will alleviate the stress of not knowing how to get in touch with the people you care about.

The plan in place will be clear on where to go if you are displaced and who to call. Once in a safe place, having your financial and medical records as well as important contact information will be crucial to start the recovery process. Taking the time now to organize and safeguard your vital documents will give you peace of mind and will ensure you have access to essential medical and prescription information and help you avoid additional stress.

Our program offers to scan vital documents on a free USB key (done during Part 2 of the program on Thursday, September 15).

Our scanners have no internal memory and are not connected to the computer or the internet. The documents are scanned directly to the key which will be handed over to the resident.

We also provide easy-to-follow instructions on how to password protect the key. We highly recommend that the key be put in a safe place and not with the papers that were just scanned. Please register at 617-730-2770.

Karate for Seniors

Join Noah Lucia from Boston Budo at the Senior Center on Fridays from 12:30-1:15pm. Beginning on August 19. This system of self-defense develops total body awareness, control and confidence, formatted with seniors in mind.

Class techniques and concepts focus on thoughtful movement, stances, balance, blocks, kata, strikes and other techniques, as well as having a cultural experience. Sponsored through donations at Sanctuary Medicinals. To register, please call 617-730-2770.
