Attention seniors ‼ We are launching a new program, Seniors Chess and Board Games this Wednesday, October 7 at 10 a.m.

Whether you are a seasoned grandmaster or just love to play board games, Seniors Chess and Board Games offers a fun space for older adults in our community to connect, sharpen their minds, and enjoy friendly competition. If chess isn't your thing, bring Scrabble or your game of choice! Chess boards, pieces, and light refreshments are provided—feel free to bring a friend along! This program is free and geared toward local adults and seniors of all skill levels.

‼ New program alert ‼ This October, Administer Justice is coming to our building the second Saturday of every month. Administer Justice offers low-cost legal consultations for neighbors facing civil legal challenges like landlord/tenant problems, debt and collections, estate planning, immigration, criminal records, and more. For a one-time $30 copay, you meet with a volunteer attorney for 45 minutes who will listen, review your situation, and create a clear Next Steps Plan. A supportive team is also available to help with practical next steps and encouragement.

The first consultations will be scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10 between 10 am and 1 pm. You can sign up online and learn more here: https://www.administerjustice.org/gethelp/
