SANTA S SENIORS WITH JUNE BIRTHDAYS Marked with * 80 Years or Older (907) 488-4663 NEWS santaseniors@alaska.net JUNE 2018 VOLUME VI 101 E. 5th Avenue North Pole, Alaska 99705 Hello Seniors. I just got back from a fabulous trip to Slovenia and Croatia. I took my Granddaughter Morgen, for her college graduation present. We saw so many castles and a lot of history. I walked a lot and climbed too many stairs. These countries are not for sissies! It was 87 degrees in Dubrovnik yesterday, when we left. It s good to be home.

Great job Pat! We had Karen Edmonds as our guest speaker this month. Karen is the coordinator for the National Family Caregiver Support Program for FRA. Karen spoke to us about some of the senior programs available through FRA and shared a little about each one. I have more information if anyone is interested. Additionally, she provided us with a Senior Community Resource list so if anyone would like a copy of that stop by and see me.
