Here are some ways you can challenge your mind: 1. Take up a new hobby like sewing! ... 2. Complete sudoku or a crossword puzzle! 3. Read a book! See more
#NationalSeniorSafetyWeek is almost over, but we want to share some tips that will help protect you from financial fraud and other scams. Use strong passwords & change them often. Be suspicious of messages claiming to be urgent. Always check the sender's email address.
