A.A.R.P. Driver
Education Class
The Senior Center hosts the AARP Driver Safety Program, which has
helped millions of drivers remain safe on today's roads and save money
on insurance premiums. The 8-hour classroom course is structured in
two days and is designed to help you update your driving knowledge,
sharpen your driving skills, compensate for normal age-related physical
changes, reduce your traffic violations, crashes, and chances for
injuries, and find answers to questions you have probably wondered
about when faced with a difficult road situation. Most drivers qualify
for an automobile insurance premium reduction or discount.
Blood Pressure Screenings
Nancy Brouca, R.N. from the Fair Lawn Health Department visits (usually)
the second Friday of every month. Screenings are held on a first-come,
first serve basis from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

Food Shopping
The Bergen County Van is available after lunch on Thursdays to go food
shopping from the Senior Center at 1:00 p.m. and travel to the Shop Rite
on River Road in Fair Lawn. The service is free of charge and will
return everyone to his or her doorstep afterwards. Registration with
