FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Senior Center offers beneficial events
Edina, Minn., Oct. 7, 2013 – The Edina Senior Center, 5280 Grandview Square, is currently offering plenty
of opportunities for learning and growth.
Peace of mind while making final arrangements:
Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapel will discuss options for funeral arrangements, new laws about home
funeral arrangements and how to compare apples to apples when reviewing costs. Can you buy your casket
at Sam’s Club? Can ashes be spread at the Mall of America? Be educated and plan ahead. Coffee and light
refreshments will be served. Please join us from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 17, or 10 to 11 a.m. Friday,
Oct. 18. This is a free event, but please call the Edina Senior Center to register.
Single Mingle Club:
Have you seen an event you wanted to attend, but didn’t want to go by yourself? Ever find yourself wanting to
go out for a happy hour, walk, coffee, movie or dinner – just not alone? Here is something for you. We will
hold an organizational meeting at the Edina Senior Center at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, to gage interest and
make some plans for a few outings. Please call the Edina Senior Center if you plan to attend, or if you cannot
attend but want to know more.
Medical Assistance – Know the Law:
The rules regarding medical assistance are very complicated. We will have a presentation by an elder law
attorney with questions and answers to follow. Can the State take my house if I go into a nursing home? Can
I gift money and still qualify for medical assistance? Catherine R. Thatcher will answer these questions and
more. The presentation starts at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16. This is a free event, but please call the Edina
Senior Center to register.
For more information, call 952-833-9570 or visit www.EdinaMN.gov/SeniorCenter. Those interested in
membership should stop in or call staff for a tour and complimentary newsletter.
