The City of Fremont police have a tradition of excellence and work hard to make sure our older residents are safe. Some of the specific programs that are agefriendly include: You Are Not Alone (YANA) is a free telephone reassurance program in which volunteers call enrollees daily (Monday—Friday) to ensure their safety and well-being. Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) Pictured: Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) connect with the community in many ways. They help enforce handicapped parking laws, respond to neighborhood requests for patrol checks and provide safety information to the public. NIXLE is a community alert system that can help find older adults who are lost. Officers can then refer families to senior services for assistance. We can all be involved in preventing crimes. To learn about scams that often target older adults be on the lookout for the scam alert trainings offered by the Age Well Centers annually. Lastly, participate in your neighborhood’s National Night Out gathering taking place August 2nd! To learn more about police department programs call Linda Otoya at 510.790.6691 or lotoya@fremont.gov

Walli Betchart has been a volunteer for over 7 years inside the bustling kitchen. She brings joy and a tireless work ethic at the Age Well Center. Volunteering brings back fond memories of working with her father in his bakery and is very different from her time as a bookkeeper with the Fremont Unified School District. In Walli’s spare time, she enjoys gardening — especially working with roses and annuals and has enjoyed traveling around the world to places like Hawaii, Costa Rica, Europe and Israel. The AWC staff is inspired by Walli’s never ending energy and is thankful to have such a bright spark around the kitchen!
