Join with others for a free lunch and presentation by Debra Herrera of the San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9, at the TARA Community Center located at 333 Milton Lane in Arboles. 

Herrera will share information on resources and financial support available for seniors in the Pine River Valley. Lunch will be served.

Included in the discussion topic will be an introduction of the various voucher programs for dental and vision checkups, and support for homemakers, personal care and respite care.

This free program is organized by Pine River Shares’ Thrive In Place (TIP) project that advocates safe, independent living for seniors and vulnerable adults living in the Pine River Valley. TIP is supported by a grant from Next 50 Initiative.

TIP holds regular luncheon meetings in the Pine River Valley: in Arboles on the second Tuesdays of each month at TARA Community Center, and in Bayfield on second and fourth Thursdays at Pine River Shares located at 658 S. East St.
