VAN SERVICES In cooperation with the Erie County Department of Senior Services,

the Town operates five (5) vans to pick up Senior Citizens, age 60+ (who

cannot use any conventional means of transportation) at their home and

take them to the doctor, food shopping, and other necessary services. This

is a curb to curb service. Residents requiring assistance getting in/out

of their home or the van should bring a friend or family member

along to assist them.

The suggested donation for a one-way trip is $3 and $8 one way for

the wheelchair van, but the donation is confidential and each person

determines what he or she can pay. The vans run five days a week from

8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Please try to make your appointments early in the

day, allowing plenty of time for your return home.

Van reservations for MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS can be made a

minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of two weeks in advance (the

sooner the better). All OTHER APPOINTMENTS (shopping, banking,

etc.) can be made a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of one week in

advance. Appointments will be scheduled on a space availability basis—

medical being the priority. For the health & safety of other passengers and

our drivers, we do not transport residents to the Laundromat with

dirty laundry. WHEN GROCERY SHOPPING, EACH RIDER IS

LIMITED TO 4 BAGS. Van drivers can help unload the bags but are

not permitted to enter the rider’s home.

PHONE NUMBER—858-RIDE (858-7433) WEEKDAYS, 8:30 AM—4:20 PM TO MAKE A RESERVATION.

STAYING FIT DINING PROGRAM In cooperation with the Erie County Department of Senior

Services, the Town provides a nutritious hot meal and social

opportunities for persons age 60 or over and their spouses

EACH WEEKDAY AT NOON.

The suggested contribution for each meal is $3.00.

DIRECTOR’S CORNER

Dear Friends,

I hope you are keeping warm and not letting this cold winter

give you the blues. We continue to offer lots of activities every

day to give you a good reason to get dressed and get out of the

house. Don’t let a little snow and wind keep you away.

This month I want to use some of my Director’s Corner

space to introduce you to JILL MANSON, a student at Canisius

College. Jill will be interning with us until the first week of May

and we are very happy she chose us! Jill served in the US Air

Force as a medic and then a chef. An injury altered her career

plans and she is back in college to pursue a degree in Health &

Wellness. Jill lives in Cheektowaga with her husband and

daughter and looks forward to learning all about healthy aging.

Jill has a great attitude, loves to have fun and is excited to

see first-hand, all the programs and services we offer to

Cheektowaga senior residents. One of Jill’s goals while she is

with us is to participate alongside all of you in everything we do.

If you haven’t already met her, chances are you will see her

around the Center. Be sure to say hello, introduce yourself and

feel free to share with her why you like coming to the senior

center and how your time with us helps you stay healthy.

On another note, I want to thank the St. Martha’s Holy

Name Society for inviting me last month to speak with their

group about our programs and services. I enjoy getting out in the

community and talking about all the good things that go on at

our Center. If you know of a community group that might like

me to come speak to their members, please pass along my name

and number—it gives me great pride tell anyone who will listen

all the great things we have to offer.

I look forward to seeing you around the Center!

Kerry ON OUR COVER: Bob Hopkins, an AARP Tax Aide Counselor has been preparing tax filings at our Center as a VOLUNTEER for 24 years! He is featured on our cover this month assisting Mary Ann Michalczyk. We are very grateful to ALL the amazing tax volunteers who will be with us through the first week of April to help you.
