At the time of printing, our 5 City 5 Alarm Chili Cook-Off
is less than 3 weeks away! Fire department staff from all
five of our communities prepare batches of chili for our
event that will be held on Saturday, November 1 at
Highland Heights Community Center. The event is a
fundraiser for the Community Partnership on Aging Safe
at Home Program. Look for the winners announced in
our December newsletter.
The Safe at Home Program is available to residents of
all five communities. Priority is given to those who cannot
afford to pay for equipment themselves. The program offers grab bars, hand
rails, transitions strips and other safety equipment, as well as durable medical
equipment, to increase safety in the home. To inquire about having a free
assessment of your home or to complete an application for the Safe at Home
Program, please contact our South Euclid or Mayfield Heights office.
Believe it or not, it’s time to talk about taxes again! The AARP Tax Aide

Community Volunteers!
Individuals, businesses, families, and groups are
needed to help with our annual leaf-raking project.

hours enjoying a November day of your choice!
In addition, beginning in January, our Adopt an

assistance during the winter months. It is a great
way to enable older adults who do not have family or
friends to help them.

Quote of the Month
Unless we hear each other singing and crying,
unless we can comfort each other’s failures
and cheer each other’s victories, we are
missing out on the best that life has to offer.
The only real action takes place on the bridge
between people.
