As you read through the magazine, I hope you are inspired by the people you read about
who are using later life to develop their creativity and love for music. We have included a few
testimonials to explain the work of Serving Our Seniors and how we help Erie County residents,
age 60+, maintain their independence and quality of life – in later life.

AARP and AAA are working with Serving Our Seniors to offer classes designed to help Erie County senior
citizens keep their driving skills/ knowledge sharp. If you are motivated to keep your keys longer by
learning what it takes to remain a good driver as you age, sign up for one or both of these courses. The
training takes place in a classroom setting. The “students” will have a manual/workbook to use during class.
Retiree, Lynn Bragg is an AARP Volunteer Instructor for their Smart Drivers Course. (She also
works with Serving Our Seniors as a Volunteer Out of Town Transportation Driver.) She is teaching
a Smart Drivers Class on April 27, 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm at the Erie County Office Building, 3rd
Floor, (downtown) 247 Columbus Ave – Sandusky. The cost is $15.00 for AARP Members/$20.00
