Learn what happened when 15 millennials were paired with 15 perennials (seniors) to discover what they might have in common. The event, organized by Kasley Killam and the World Global Shapers, was billed as an "Intergenerational Pop-up", hosted at Manny's community space in the Mission.

The Network for Elders started the 2019 New Year with the Hearing Loss 101 Presentation at their monthly meeting at Dr. George W. Davis Senior Center.   CLC's Vision and Hearing Initiative Program Coordinator, Sherri Sawyer (pictured right with Network for Elders Leader Beverly Taylor) was joined by staff from the Northern California Speech and Hearing Center. They talked about the challenges of hearing loss as part of the aging process. Participants had lots of questions regarding hearing aids and other amplification devices, such as Pocketalkers and new Bluetooth technologies for hearing support.

A recent New York Times article describes two major studies that indicated the clear connection between untreated hearing loss and increased risk of dementia, depression, falls and cardiovascular diseases.

CLC has volunteer opportunities - help people learn basic computer skills (and the joys of being online) or help deliver groceries to those in need. Visit CLC's Volunteer Opportunity page or  VolunteerMatch to learn more.
