NORWICH – The final seminar of a five-part series put on by the Chenango County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at Guernsey Memorial Library in Norwich.

The program was created to inform senior citizens about ways to keep themselves safe and healthy over time, said RSVP organizer Sasha Shackelton, and was made possible by a grant from the Norwich Youth Philanthropy Council.

“One of the biggest concerns for the elderly is keeping busy,” she said.

The final program will be held in three parts. At 1:30, Renee Conklin coordinator of elder services at the Decker School of Nursing, will discuss “Normal Aging or Dementia” which will focus on helping seniors understand the natural changes in everyone’s mind as they grow older.

Dorothy Gardner, who presented at the previous seminar, will return to explain “Aging and Ears and Eyes.”
