She stressed that we need to empower ourselves to “Wellness and Aging Well”   Live a healthy life; ensure that one does all to prevent falls and to use tools when needed.   One of the tools is a lifeline.  Victoria Lifeline has been with the Victoria Hospital Foundation for 35 years and is a local non-profit agency.  She distributed information on wellness and aging well.   Door prizes were drawn and thanks to those who contributed especially to the Woodwards.
