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.

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:  \nMembers & guests–free \nLocation: Via Zoom \nFree on Netflix\, available to rent on Amazon Prime for $3.99\n \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 Idiocracy (2006) \nIn 2005\, average Americans\, Joe and Rita\, are selected to be part of a secret military experiment which places them in hibernation for a year. 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.
