Seniors: From country girl to city kid 
Jeannette Schauer grew up in the country, but the search for work turned her into a city girl pretty quickly.

Session will focus on making tough end-of-life decisions
Nobody wants to make the tough decisions that come when a loved one dies. But sooner or later, almost everyone will have to.

Social hub. Educational resource. Fitness center.
Exactly what purpose Farmington’s Rambling River Center serves for the city’s senior population can vary greatly depending whom you ask. For some it’s a place to meet old friends and make new ones. For others, it’s a place to get needed food with events like a monthly Senior Food For Health distribution or day-old bread. Still others keep fit at the center’s workout room or discover new hobbies with groups that offer line dancing or wood carving.
