SUMMARY:Fraud & Scams Targeting Older Adults with Lynne Perryman
DESCRIPTION:Location: Via Zoom \nMembers & guests: Free \nRegister Here \nFinancial fraud targeting older adults has become so prevalent that it has been called the crime of the 21st century. Older adults are thought to have a significant amount of money sitting in their accounts\, but it is not just wealthy older adults who are targeted. Low-income older adults are also at risk of financial abuse. Financial scams often go unreported or can be difficult to prosecute\, so they are considered a low-risk crime. However\, they are devastating to many older adults and can leave them in a very vulnerable position with no way to recoup their losses. \nLynne Perryman\, Vice President and Control Manager at JPMorgan Chase\, joins us to discuss this alarming topic and answers your burning questions. Learn how to recognize a financial scam or fraud\, what to do and how to respond if you are targeted\, and when and how to report scam or fraud. \nAbout the Presenter:\nLynne Perryman\, Vice President\, Control Manager\, JPMorgan Chase\, N.A \nLynne Perryman is a Control Manager with over 20 years of experience assisting internal stakeholders by identifying and mitigating risk for their current processes.

Unfortunately they are forgotten and the military base closes. 500 years later\, they are awakened to find the intelligence of their fellow citizens has decreased to the point where Joe appears to be the smartest man on earth. Sounds unbelievable? Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph star in a comedy which seems more like a documentary about life in America in 2025.

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests–free \nEvery Saturday afternoon\, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth organic discussion of films new and old. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after! \nThis week the group is watching Oh. What. Fun. 2025\, 118min\, Free on Amazon (sans commercials)\n\nMichelle Pfieffer (Claire\, still looking fabulous) is the ultimate Christmas mom\, but no one appreciates her … at least not as much as she wants them to. Her 3 kids visit every year\, all with their own issues\, and the Asian-American family across the street seems to do Christmas better than Claire.  The film has a lot of fun\, a little drama\, and a LOT of Christmas to put us in the mood. If you’re on the fence about decorating for Xmas\, this movie may sway you.
