Tong To Visit With Berlin Seniors On Elder Issues

BERLIN, CT — Senior citizens are often targets for crooks and scam artists, with a state official coming to the Berlin Senior Center next week to offer them some advice.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong will be at the Berlin Senior Center, 33 Colonial Drive, on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 1 to 2 p.m. to discuss elder justice to local seniors.

Tong, a Democrat, is expected to discuss everything from age-based discrimination in the workplace to scams, fraud, elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

The program is free, but those attending are asked to sign up in advance.

Those interested in going can sign up at the senior center's front desk or call the center at 860-628-7006.
