On a side note; When I was picking up the pastries Starbucks donates to the Senior Center, they treated me to an Oatmeal. If you like Oatmeal, even if it’s not your favorite, I would like to recommend “Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal”, It is packaged nicely, each container comes with a side package of nuts and dried fruits even brown sugar & of course the spoon and napkin, all that is left to do is add hot water, wait three minutes and you’ve got a nutritious breakfast. . If you’re a banana lover you could also add sliced bananas. I ate every, every bit & it was only 390 calories total. If your one that has to eat on the run or at the office, you should try it. Thanks Starbucks.

The first workshop will be May 25th covering “The Basics: Memory loss, Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease”. This will be a chance to learn what is the difference between age related memory loss and dementia; what are the stages of Alzheimer’s; Questions to ask your doctors, and treatment Vs. lack of treatment and more. So bring on the questions. Please call us and let us know that your interested and you plan on coming. The Fillmore Senior Center phone # is 805-524-4533 we look forward to seeing you.
