SENIORS FOR PEACE

Seniors for Peace will meet on Thursday, April 2, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. This month’s guest speakers are Karen Rossi, a community partner liaison and senior financial fraud specialist with the Council on Aging, and Suzanne Iazzetta, directing attorney for the consumer law unit of the Public Law Center. The two will give a presentation on financial wellness for seniors.
