Dear Friends, On behalf of City of Irvine Senior Services, we wish you a happy and healthy new year! This year, I encourage you to set a New Years resolution you won't regret, giving back to the community. Irvine Senior Services offers a variety of volunteer opportuni- ties to match your interests, skills, and availability. Are you interested in helping ensure older adults receive a nutritious meal each day? Consider becoming a Rose Garden Café or Meals on Wheels volunteer. Do you want a flexible schedule? Volunteer drivers help drive older adults to non-emergency medical appoint- ments and can accept or decline assignments based on your availability. For more information contact volunteer@cityofirvine.org . Mark your calendars for 9 a.m. the third Thursday, each month to watch the Senior Citizen Council meeting. The meeting is now being broadcasted through ICTV and you can watch it live at home or come in person at 1 Civic Center Plaza in the Council Chambers. Other upcoming events include the Chinese New Year Celebration Wednesday, February 7, followed by Nowruz on Thursday, March 21. Both events feature entertainment and refreshments, while celebrating the new year. See page four of this issue of the Irvine Senior Connection for more information. I hope you have a fulfilling new year while enjoying the exciting events and programs Irvine Senior Services has to offer. For more information, visit one of our three senior centers or go to irvineseniors.org . Sincerely yours, Sandra L. Salcedo Community Services Manager
