Managing chronic conditions: Series starts Jan. 20
A new, six-week, Tuesday afternoon seminar, “Chronic Disease Self-Management,” will begin Tuesday, Jan. 20, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Hildreth House. Over six consecutive Tuesdays, participants will learn new ways to manage chronic conditions: Learn tips on communicating with doctors, managing medications, relaxing, cultivating a positive attitude, and much more. Call today to sign up at 978-456-4120.
Volunteers needed for meal delivery
If you have one or two hours to spare at noontime during the week, the Council on Aging can use your help. The council serves meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon at Hildreth House and also delivers Meals on Wheels. Volunteers pickup the meals at Hildreth House and deliver to home-bound seniors. It is not a huge commitment, but an important one. Call 978-456-4120 for more information.
