Tredyffrin Township News Release: Job Growth Tredyffrin Township remains a Regional Leader as a Great Place for Business (Berwyn, Pa) According to a recent study by Econsult Solutions and the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia*, Tredyffrin Township continues to lead the Philadelphia region's 10 largest business locations in terms of total job growth and its overall business-friendly tax environment. Tredyffrin is noted as having the lowest business tax burden among the major office markets in Southeast Pennsylvania.

The study, commissioned by Upper Merion Township and the KOP Business Improvement District (BID), compared the local tax structure for businesses of varying sizes and industry types. As the study states, "[Upper Merion] has seen far less job growth than neighboring Tredyffrin Township due in part to the difference in tax burden. This results in more interest and more investment in Tredyffrin Township‌ as it relates to commercial office development."

Figure 2: 2002-2013 Employment Growth within Selected Business Locations - All Jobs and Office Jobs

180%

167%

160%

Differentiated by the lack of Business/Mercantile and Earned Income Taxes, Tredyffrin Township has had far greater growth (167%) in total jobs from 2003 to 2013 when compared to its neighbors along Route 202, Upper Merion (25%) and Malvern (70%). These findings reaffirm the conclusions from a 2012 study commissioned by Tredyffrin** as part of a commercial Zoning rewrite. This new Zoning Code has proven to be an invaluable tool for attracting new businesses and encouraging redevelopment of existing facilities. One example is the new, state-of-the-art Crosspoint building which is almost 100% leased and occupies Teleflex and Rovi companies, among others.

"Tredyffrin's tax policies, combined with unparalleled access to the regional transportation network (road, rail, and trail), and with direct access to Route 202, the PA Turnpike, and Route 422, as well as a school district that is consistently ranked among the top handful in PA, will ensure that the Township continues a high quality of life for its residents and a high value proposition for its employers," says Michael Heaberg, Chairman of the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors.

News From the Berwyn Fire Company The Berwyn Fire Company responded to 808 fire/EMS incidents through the end of March of this year. This included a response to a twoalarm fire in the Paddock section of Chesterbrook on February 27th that destroyed a townhome and damaged several others.

Fortunately, no first responders or civilians were injured during this fast moving blaze.

A new ambulance will be delivered in the coming weeks that will replace an existing unit. This life saving vehicle will be inspected and licensed in accordance with Pennsylvania Department of Health regulations. Our EMTs and Paramedics will be able to operate in a state-of-the-art Ambulance that will greatly benefit the community.

The newly appointed State Fire Commissioner, Timothy J. Solobay, will recognize Berwyn for continuing its commitment to training in the Participating Department Recognition Program later this year. This will be the fourth time Berwyn will be recognized since joining the program in 2005. As of March 2, 2015, Berwyn is one of only 40 fire agencies in the entire Commonwealth to have 100% of its volunteer and paid firefighting personnel, over the age of 18, trained to a nationally recognized and sanctioned professional qualification standard.

Follow the Berwyn Fire Company on Facebook and visit our website at www.BerwynFireCo.org to stay up-to-date on our activities in Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships.

This is another great example of Berwyn's commitment to training - over ten members (both career and volunteer) gave up a full weekend to better their skills and enhance the service to the community.

Berwyn firefighters continue to enhance their skills by undertaking water rescue training.

This was identified as a training priority for Berwyn, based on its experiences with the increased occurrence of water rescue events.

This is especially true in the Glenhardie section of Tredyffrin Township where three people nearly lost their lives during Hurricane Irene in 2011 when their cars were swept up in the floodwaters of Trout Creek.

Inspections and Permit Services Tredyffrin Township is very proud of its commercial district's property owners, and the role they play in our community as a whole.

The great minds that set the district parameters struck a comfortable balance of commercial construction thoughtfully placed in a rural setting.

That said, maintaining these properties and associated structures, just like our own, is a constant. As you break into your 2015 capital improvement programs, below are some areas that may be considered to put these maintenance and/or improvement schedules together.

Repainting or remarking traffic lines and lanes indicating parking spaces, traffic flow, fire lanes, pedestrian walkways, and other traffic control designations, so they are clear and conspicuous at all times.

The maintenance and replacement or repair of paving, bumper blocks, guide rails, and lighting installations in parking areas and entrances thereto.

The removal and replacement of plantings or other landscaping features which were required as a condition of site plan or other approval, but which did not survive.

The maintenance or repair needed for any awning or marquee. Such awning or marquee shall not show evidence of excessive weathering, discoloration, ripping, tearing or other deterioration, and

shall not constitute a nuisance or safety hazard.

Providing a safe, continuous, and unobstructed path of travel from any point in a building or structure to a public rightof-way. All means of egress doors and emergency openings shall not be blocked or obstructed or otherwise made inoperable. All means of egress doors and emergency openings shall be readily operable from the side from which egress is to be made without the need for keys, special knowledge, or effort. Bars, grilles, gates or similar devices are permitted to be placed over emergency escape and rescue openings, provided the minimum net clear opening size complies with the building code that was in effect at the time of construction. Such devices shall be releasable or removable from the inside without the use of a key, tool, or force greater than that which is required for normal operation of the escape-andrescue opening.

Public Works Winter Thanks The Public Works Department would like to thank Tredyffrin Township residents and businesses for their cooperation during the snow storms that seemed to hit us on a weekly basis this winter. By keeping vehicles off the roads during the critical time needed to do the necessary clearing for each event, the drivers were able to clean-up the snow as quickly and efficiently as was possible. We would also like to thank you for your patience while the roads were cleared in order of priority.

Township roads are divided into nine areas, while one truck is assigned to take care of state roads for which the Township is responsible.

Each area is divided by primary roads and secondary roads. The Public Works team keeps the roads passable until the storm stops, then all roads are done curb-to-curb followed by culde-sacs. If there is an emergency anywhere, a truck is sent to that area to make sure emergency responders can get to the house or business.

Let me close by saying what an honor it is to serve the Township's residents and businesses throughout the year. And, as such, the goal is that the quality of life for residents, visitors, and persons employed here remains constant or improved upon. Enjoy the new spring and summer seasons upon us and good luck.

Friends of the Chester Valley Trail Since the May 2014 opening of the Chester Valley Trail (CVT) in Tredyffrin Township, residents have flocked to the trail in large numbers and in all kinds of weather. Cyclists, runners, and walkers of all ages have found a new love in the over six miles of trail through the heart of the Township, with nearly 14 miles available along its total length.

Designed for bicycle commuters as well as recreational use, employers throughout the Route 202 corridor are seeing high interest from employees who choose to leave their cars at home now that the trail passes by so many office complexes.

Created from the former roadbed of the Chester Valley Railroad, a branch of the Reading Railroad Line, this multiuse trail is the latest local example of the rail-trail phenomenon that is expanding throughout the nation as defunct rail lines are transformed into linear parks. The CVT was developed by the Chester County Department of Facilities and Parks, which retains responsibility for maintenance, including snow removal. County Rangers patrol the trail all day, augmented by Tredyffrin Police bike patrols and volunteer members of a

new program, the Tredyffrin Trail Watch. Under the guidance of Officer Rhonda Carroll, Director of Community Policing, Trail Watch volunteers provide extra eyes and ears on the trail during peak usage times.

inspired by the trail, the kiosks were constructed by Eagle Scout candidates from local Boy Scout troops. Another Eagle project created a series of tree identification markers along the trail between North Valley and Cedar Hollow Roads. In addition to learning more about the trees native to our part of Penn's Woods, interpretative signage placed along the trail in spring 2015 informs passersby of key themes in local history, from the British encampment of 1777 to the industrial era of limestone quarries whose presence remains apparent along the trail.

The primary trailhead in our community is at the Westlakes Corporate Center, where Keystone Property Group generously provides 50 parking spaces for public use. For residents in the Panhandle and eastern Tredyffrin, a large lot is available on North Warner Road. A new trail brochure, available in the lobby of the Township Building and posted in trailside kiosks, shows all parking, trailhead, and restroom facilities along the Trail.

Paoli Intermodal Transportation Center Improvement Project

By Zach Barner, Planning & Zoning Coordinator

Paoli is centrally located along the successful Great Valley-to-King of Prussia commercial corridor and on the western edge of the historic Philadelphia Main Line. At the heart of Paoli lies the Paoli Train Station, which dates back to 1893 (the original Victorian-style depot was replaced in 1953).

Paoli is an Amtrak-owned station located along the Keystone Corridor, which extends from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. The station is served by both Amtrak trains (Keystone and Pennsylvanian), as well as SEPTA Regional Rail (Paoli-Thorndale Line) and Bus Service (Routes 92, 105,106, 204, 205, 206). The Paoli Station has the highest ridership of any station in the Western Suburbs and is one of the busiest in the entire Philadelphia Metropolitan Area.

Paoli and its vicinity are suburban destinations, attracting riders from a large geographic area

Proposed View Looking Northeast

Sketch of Phase I Station Accessibility Improvements

due to its high level of service and large commercial draw. The Station provides convenient access to the many corporate centers and large employers, as well as direct access to the City of Philadelphia and beyond.

Numerous private shuttles supplement SEPTA buses for increased connections.

The Station building and parking facilities, however, can no longer accommodate the volume of people who use the facility on a daily basis. Ridership is suppressed due to the lack of parking, and Paoli merchants are frustrated by commuters occupying the limited parking downtown. Buses and shuttles squeeze into cramped parking lots adjacent to the station. Traffic is congested (for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic) and access in and out of the station is difficult. Local residents and workers find it challenging to walk or bike to the station and the Station itself is not ADA accessible. The Paoli Train Station is a strong,

regional and community asset but is far from reaching its potential.

Project Overview Planning and design are underway for a new Paoli Intermodal Transportation Center to be constructed at the site of the existing station at the corner of Lancaster Avenue and North Valley Road. Due to the scale of the project, it has been broken into three distinct phases (three major projects), which involves coordination between various entities including SEPTA, Amtrak, PennDOT, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), Chester County, and Tredyffrin and Willistown Townships as well as numerous private stakeholders and the public at large. A Project Team, comprised of representatives from the various stakeholders, meets regularly to provide status updates and advance project coordination.

Paoli Intermodal Transportation Center Improvement Project Phase I - Station Accessibility Improvements This first phase has been initiated in order to bring the station into compliance with 2006 Department of Transportation (DOT) Accessibility standards and the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The project will include a new center high level platform, elevators, and ramps; a pedestrian overpass; parking lot improvements; ADA improvements to the existing station building; and improvements to the existing rail infrastructure. Once complete, this project will bring the Station into full ADA compliance, making it accessible for all users, and setting the stage for future phases. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2016.

Phase II - Darby Road Bridge and Realignment This second phase, which will follow on the heels of the Accessibility Improvements, will look to replace the existing bridge on North Valley Road over the Amtrak/SEPTA lines with a new bridge that redirects the road to the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and Darby Road. Once the design of the new station is approved by various agencies, design work will begin on the bridge project, as it must accommodate the new Station design. Funding for the bridge has been identified on the regional Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) with construction anticipated to begin in 2019. For funding information, visit www.dvrpc.org.

Phase I - Proposed Accessibility Improvements

Phase II - Proposed Darby Road Extension

Phase III - Intermodal Station and Parking Garage This final phase features a new, expanded transportation center "envisioned to serve the growing needs of the traveling public, and support the Paoli business district and future economic growth in the area." The Intermodal Station Complex will include an additional high-level platform on the outbound side; a new waiting area, ticket offices, and passenger amenities; enhanced bus facilities; and a 600+ space commuter parking garage. Plans also anticipate retail storefronts on the proposed parking structure.

Statewide Road and Bridge Safety Improvement Award T re d y f f r i n To w n s h i p W i n s Statewide Road and Bridge Safety Improvement Awards Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, was named the roadway winner of the 33rd Annual Road and Bridge Safety Improvement Awards, presented at the 93rd Annual Educational Conference of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors held in Hershey on April 19-22, 2015. The conference attracted attendees from every county in Pennsylvania except Philadelphia, which does not have townships. Tredyffrin Township won the award for a road and intersection improvement project on State Routes 252 and 30.

The Township Association sponsors the statewide Road and Bridge Safety Improvement Contest each year in partnership with the Pennsylvania Highway Information Association and the state Department of Transportation. This contest recognizes townships for their extensive contributions of time and effort in making roads and bridges safer.

Tredyffrin Township undertook the road and intersection improvement project as a shortterm measure to address congestion and safety issues on Route 252 between Central Avenue and Route 30. An existing Amtrak bridge over Route 252 funnels traffic from two lanes at the intersection to one lane under the bridge.

A feasibility study recommended three longterm remedies that would have cost between $55 million and $66 million and would include replacement of the bridge. Due to funding constraints, the Township opted for short-term mitigation to improve safety and traffic flow until funds are available to replace the bridge.

"We looked at how we could improve the existing infrastructure at a lower cost," Township Engineer Stephen Burgo, P.E., says.

"This was much more economical."

The project included the following improvements: shifting the northbound lanes on Route 252 south of Route 30 to align them with the lanes north of Route 30 to improve sight distance;

modifying the signal phasing to add left turn arrows on Route 252; adding a turn lane on Route 252 southbound at its intersection with Maple Avenue, along with pavement markings, restriping, and curb revisions on Maple Avenue to improve vehicle turning movements; adding pavement markings and signage on Route 252 north of the bridge to designate a formal lane merger, plus new sidewalks, pavement, drainage, striping, and delineators under the Participating in the presentation are, left to right: PSATS First Vice President Shirl Barnhart PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Planning Jim Ritzman; Tredyffrin bridge; Township Engineer Stephen Burgo, P.E.; Tredyffrin Township Engineering Assistant a d d i n g p e d e s t r i a n Erin McPherson; PHIA Managing Director Jason Wagner. enhancements, such as new sidewalks and crosswalks, ADA- reinforced concrete arch system that is supported on cast-in-place concrete footings. compliant ramps, and brick sidewalk inlays; installing an adaptive signal system to To accommodate the characteristics of the tributary it spans, the bridge was lengthened to respond to traffic volume and flow; and installing emergency pre-emption traffic 20 feet, which qualifies it for biennial signal technology and vehicle detectors at inspection under the National Bridge Inspection Standards.

Commemorative Plaque Program It is well-known that Tredyffrin Township has an abundance of magnificent historical resources so many (it seems) that we often take them for granted and forget how truly unique a place Tredyffrin is! In an effort to promote and preserve these unique resources, the Tredyffrin Township Historical Commission (TTHC) has developed an official, commemorative plaque program.

Please note that this is a strictly voluntary program, administered by the Historical Commission. The program is not related to any Township ordinances and does not place any restrictions or limitations on your property.

Applications (which are available on-line and at the Township Building) are to be completed by the property owner, who will bear the cost to manufacture and maintain the plaque. The markers are cast in bronze and measure approximately 10"x7". Two plaque styles, using the same basic design template, are available:

more of the following additional criteria: a. Historical Significance: A place which is or has been the site of a significant local, state or national event or has contributed to the civic, social or political history of Tredyffrin Township. b. Architectural Significance: A place that retains substantial historic fabric and configuration so that it expresses its original design.

Standard plaques include the Tredyffrin Township Logo, Historical Property heading, and Tredyffrin Township Historical Commission moniker.

Customized plaques allow the applicant to include (up to) an additional 3 lines of text (23 characters per line) for resourcespecific information, such as the building's date of construction and historical information, i.e., building's name, original owner, builder, architect, and/or claim to fame.

Any resource within the Township that meets the following criteria is eligible for inclusion in the program: 1. The property was constructed during or before 1945 (unless special circumstances exist that are determined by the TTHC), well-maintained and may possess one or

By Zach Barner, Planning & Zoning Coordinator

2. The property appears to be in originalcondition or retain the overall integrity/character of the original design.

3. Any exterior renovation work that is currently in progress must be completed prior to approval/installation.

All applications will be reviewed by the Historical Commission, using the information supplied by the applicant, as well as the various studies the Township has commissioned over the years. A full list of these studies is available on the Township's website.

Recycling 102: Recycling Beyond the Township Ordinance The Township Solid Waste ordinance (Chapter 168) lists the basic materials that residents and businesses must recycle but the list of materials that residents may recycle goes beyond those items.

Remember, each hauler has restrictions on what they do and do not collect. Please contact your local hauler to obtain a list of accepted materials.

Plastics Confused about which plastics you can and cannot recycle? With so many different types of plastics, the task of knowing which ones to recycle may seem challenging. Here is a simple explanation of the different types of plastics that you may be able to recycle.

The well-recognized "chasing arrows" (triangle) symbol we see on plastic containers and products does not necessarily mean the product is recyclable. The little number (1-7) inside the triangle tells the real story. The purpose of the number is to identify which type of plastic was used to create the product. Not all plastics are recyclable or even reusable there are numerous plastic-based products that cannot break down naturally and cannot be easily recycled. Below are the seven standard classifications for plastics, along with the recycling and reuse information for each type: #1 Plastic (PET or Polyethylene Terephthalate) is used for many of the items found in our refrigerators and pantries.

Examples include soft drink/water bottles, peanut butter jars, liquor bottles, and certain

types of packaging. Type 1 plastics are intended for single use applications. Repeated use increases the risk of chemical leaching and bacterial growth. During the recycling process, the plastic is crushed and shredded into small flakes. These flakes are then reprocessed to make new PET products. The material can also be spun into polyester fiber, which is used to make textiles such as fleece garments, carpets, stuffing for pillows, and life jackets, among other things. #2 Plastic (HDPE or High-Density Polyethylene) is used to make milk jugs, juice bottles, bleach/detergent/household cleaner bottles, and motor oil/antifreeze containers.

Some haulers may only allow narrow-necked bottles, while others may only collect clear or colored #2 Plastics. HDPE plastic is a hearty material and does not break down under exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures.

As a result, recycled HDPE is used to make plastic lumber products, picnic tables/benches, waste bins, bed liners for trucks, and other products that require durability and weatherresistance. #3 Plastic (PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride) is used to make the bottles for cooking oil, salad dressing, and floor polish; toys for children and pets; and even bubble wrap. It can also be commonly found in products like siding and piping. Like HDPE, PVC is often used in outdoor/garden applications due to its resistance to sunlight and temperatures.

Products made using PVC plastic are not recyclable and the applications for reuse are limited. #4 Plastic (LDPE or Low-Density Polyethylene) is used to make various types of film/wrap products, flexible lids/bottles that

you can squeeze, and various types of household bags (including grocery, garbage, and bread bags). Many LDPE products are reusable, but not recyclable. #5 Plastic (PP or Polypropylene) is strong and lightweight. It is popular for use in things like yogurt containers, shampoo bottles, and margarine tubs. Polypropylene is also used in cereal box liners, combs, and battery packaging. Recycled PP is used to make landscaping border stripping, battery cases, brooms, bins and trays. Recycling rates of PP are relatively low, but on the rise. #6 Plastic (PS or Polystyrene) is a cheap, malleable material used to make many disposable ("Styrofoam") plates and cups. It can also be used to make cartons for eggs, meat trays, take out boxes for food, packing peanuts, and insulation. Recycling of Polystyrene is not widely available, and many curbside haulers will not accept these products. Additionally, PS is structurally weak and can break down relatively easily, causing chemicals to leach.

This combined with its light weight and sheer volume make PS, in particular, a notable threat to wildlife and natural ecosystems.

Polystyrene should be avoided where possible. #7 Plastic (Other BPA, Polycarbonate, LEXAN, etc.) is a catch-all category for which reuse and recycling protocols are not standardized. Oftentimes, #7 plastics are a combination types 1-6. Examples include large water bottles (3-5 gallons) and items like sunglasses, DVDs, and phone cases.

Dog Training: Why Hire A Trainer?

610-337-7698 200 King Manor Drive King of Prussia, PA 19406 www.perfect-pooch.com

As a professional dog trainer, I often get caught up in conversations where I advise people to find a certified dog trainer. I typically get a variety of excuses or "reasons" why that's not an option. This actually just happened to me last week on a social media site. An acquaintance, who lives in another state, was asking me for behavioral advice of the masses and it was a mess!

There are so many reasons why soliciting advice from various sources is a bad idea.

The main reason being that you will get conflicting advice, which can just confuse you more. When I had recommended hiring a professional, I got the usual rebuke. Here are a few of the most common reasons people don't want to hire a dog trainer: 1. "My dog is too crazy! We tried taking him to classes and it did not work."

2. "I don't have enough time."

3. "I can do it myself."

4. "It's too expensive."

5. "I don't know how to find a good trainer. The internet has too many options and I don't want to waste my time or money without knowing who to trust."

Let me address a few of these right now: 1. Your dog is a dog. That's not to say that all dogs are the same, but all dogs have the potential to learn. If you think your dog is too crazy or "can't learn," what about the dogs rescued from the dog fighting ring funded by Michael Vick?

Don't you think some people thought they were "too crazy" or too far gone?

Many of them went on to do great things including advocate for the breed and therapy work. You may have had one, two, or ten dogs in your life and your current 26

Tredyffrin Township

dog may seem "crazy" in comparison, but a certified trainer has seen hundreds!

Believe me, there is almost nothing you can tell me about your dog that will shock me at this point and I have already learned how to handle your issues before I even approach your dog. If I haven't, I know who to refer you to, so I won't waste your time. Group classes are not always appropriate for every dog or dog-owner team either. A certified professional dog trainer can help you get into the best training program for you and your goals.

2. If you don't have enough time to train your dog, you probably don't have enough time for a dog and you certainly don't have enough time to clean up after your dog's misbehavior. Training definitely takes time, but having set appointments with a trainer where you need to show progress helps keep you accountable and motivated. As a professional trainer, I still take classes and workshops with my own dogs just to make sure I am being responsible and giving them the time and energy they deserve.

3. You may be able to teach some things yourself, especially if you are well-read in behavior and have some experience with other dogs. A trainer, however, is a second pair of experienced eyes who may spot something that you missed or who may be able to show you a better or easier way to do something. Also, a certified trainer knows more than just how to train a new trick or end a problem behavior; they understand the psychology behind learning and might spot body signals you didn't know your dog was giving you. They also keep you accountable and realistic.

Sometimes you just need to be told to slow down or adjust your criteria and expectations.

4. Training can be expensive, but so can law suits and new furniture. If your dog has a problematic behavior, you will most likely have to spend some money as a result of the behavior at some point.

Think of training as an investment, rather than an expense. You are putting your time and money forward to ensure that you have a happy, safe, and well-behaved dog long-term.

5. There are plenty of lousy trainers out there. There are also plenty of lousy lawyers, doctors, etc., as well. Where do you find a good, qualified expert?

Through a certifying board! Would you ever see a lawyer who has not passed the bar exam or a doctor that hasn't been licensed? Probably not. The CCPDT is the only independent certifying body for dog trainers. It's very similar to the bar association. While there are many online and in-person programs that claim to certify their trainers and give them some sort of accreditation or initials after their name, not all credentials are equal.

Another great way to find a qualified trainer is to ask for references or go by word of mouth (word of mouth is not the same as online reviews, as they can be skewed or paid for). Ask around and see if your friends or vet can recommend someone, then check out their credentials and be sure to ask a lot of questions before deciding what to do and who to listen to. At the end of the day, it is up to you to be a discerning consumer and choose the best for your pet.

Realizing that your dog needs training, whether they are already exhibiting a problem behavior or your trying to prevent future problems, is the first step to finding a solution. Half of the time people don't even realize that they would benefit from training until someone has pointed it out to them. This can be even more of an issue, so you should be proud when you realize that maybe you could use a hand. Take the time to find an appropriate trainer and rest assured that it will be money well spent!

Green Ribbon Native Plants® at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens

By Maddison Paule, Hamilton Educational Fellow

In 2003, Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens began a program called the "Green ® Ribbon Native Plant " to inspire home gardeners to incorporate more native

Butterfly Milkweed

plants into their landscapes. Each year, three native plants are recognized and added to a continually growing list of outstanding native plants. These plants are showcased in our newly redesigned ® Green Ribbon Native Plant Garden, located directly adjacent to the John J. Willaman Education Center. This garden is a great example of how you can incorporate native plants into the home garden setting.

This year, three great new plants have been added to our list of Green Ribbon Native Plants®. The first is Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa), a tuberous perennial that has beautiful orange flowers in the summer. Like all milkweeds, it is the larval host for the monarch butterfly, which greatly increases the plant's ecological value.

Senior Lifestyles Baby Boomer Primer: An Intro to Aging Services Friday, June 5, 9:30 - 2:15 ($10, lunch included) Surrey Devon Who should attend this program? Anyone who wants to know more about aging services for themselves or someone they care about. This is not a sales presentation.

With a growing number of the population joining the over 65 club, there seems to be a new service marketed to the senior population every day. Join us as we explain the services available to you and explore your options. This informative program consists of four topical areas and includes lunch. Handouts and other reference materials will be distributed.

Health Care Seniors entering a hospital often find themselves in a quandary. In this session, you will learn the difference between a hospital admission and an observation stay. This is not always clear to a patient and has a significant impact on insurance. You will learn other aspects of health care including home care and ways to proactively plan for the unexpected.

On Paper Paperwork becomes more important with each year that passes.

This session will explain Power of Attorney, Living Will, POLST form, DNR and other critical documents.

Housing One of the first decisions retirees deal with is where to live. Do you stay in the family home or downsize? What services are available to help? What is the difference between a CCRC, SNF, PCA and 55+ community. What are all those living options really like? This session will answer all those questions and more.

Socially Speaking Active seniors are healthier seniors. Today's seniors have more opportunities to remain active than ever. This session will provide information on local opportunities to engage your mind, body and spirit.

Lunch will be provided in the Surrey cafe. For more information or to make a reservation, please call Nicole at 610-647-9172.
