Manhattan-New Lenox TRIAD Announces March 27th Presentation “Spring Cleaning for Seniors”

The Manhattan-New Lenox TRIAD for seniors would like to invite senior citizens (age 50 and up) from the area to attend their monthly meeting on Thursday, March 27th,  at 1:30pm, at the New Lenox Police Station Community Room located at 701 West Haven in New Lenox. 

This month’s presentation will be, “Spring Cleaning for Seniors”.  Our guest speaker is Public Education Coordinator for the New Lenox Fire Protection District, Marisa Schrieber.  At long last it is almost the end of March and winter is finally losing its long cold grip on the New Lenox area.    This is the time of the year that we all think about “Spring Cleaning”.  Spring is a great time of year to think about taking stock of the overall safety of your home or a  loved one’s home.
