TRIAD CORNER
The Danvers TRIAD Council is a partnership which includes the Sheriff and
District Attorney of Essex County, the Danvers Police and Fire Chiefs, the Council
on Aging and supportive services, and seniors. Proper disposal of prescription
drugs has become a problem for every community in the United States. The
number of Americans who abuse prescription drugs illegally now exceeds the number of
Americans who abuse cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, and heroin combined. Studies have
shown that prescription drug abusers sometimes get the pills from medicine cabinets in homes.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "The age-old advice of flushing
pharmaceuticals down the toilet is now considered to be the least desirable of all
alternatives." Once flushed down the drain or toilet, expired or unwanted medications become
a source of pollution in wastewater and they generally can not be removed by treatment plants
or septic systems. The Danvers Police Department provides a safe location in the lobby of the
police station for Danvers residents to properly dispose of their unwanted prescription
medications. The police department partnered with the United States post office who
donated a used mailbox to be used as a secure safe for these items. There is also another
used mailbox available for the safe disposal of used needles or “sharps”.
Popcorn & A Movie – Join us on
Tuesday, September 18th for
“Won’t You Be My Neighbor”.
Plot: This documentary paints a
portrait of the philosophy and work of
cardigan-wearing children’s entertainer Fred
Rogers, star of the popular show “Mister
Rogers’ Neighborhood.” Mister Rogers
creatively communicated themes of empathy
and acceptance using a colorful cast of
puppets and friends for more than 30 years.
Along with archival footage, Rogers’
contemporaries and castmates reflect on his
legacy. Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for Language,
Mature Thematic issues. Please sign up at
the front desk, or call the center at
978 762-0208 if you plan on attending.
Check in and you may win a
prize!!!!
Are you using your card to
check in on “My Senior Center”
at the front desk every time you come to the
center for a class, trip, activity or to enter
your volunteer hours? There is a new
category titled “Raffle”. Every day that you
are at the Senior Center and check in,
remember to touch on the Raffle option on
the first page and you will earn an entry into
the Raffle. A random winner will be selected
on the first business day of each month to
ensure that all entries from the previous

Evening Book Club – The Book
Club will meet next on Mon-
day, September 17th at 5:30
PM. The book this month is
“The House We Grew Up In” by Lisa Jewell
PLOT: Meet the picture perfect Bird with 4
children. Their father is a sweet, gangly man,
but it’s their beautiful, free-spirited mother
Lorelei who spins the center. In those early
years, Lorelei tries to freeze time by filling
their simple home with precious mementos.
Easter egg foils are her favorite. She hangs
all the children’s art, to her husband’s chagrin.
Then one Easter weekend, a tragedy so devas-
tating occurs that, almost imperceptibly, it be-
gins to tear the family apart. Years pass and
the children have become adults, while Lorelei
has become the county’s worst hoarder. She
has alienated her husband and children and has
been living as a recluse. But then something
happens that beckons the family back to the
house they grew up in – to finally understand
the events of that long-ago Easter weekend and
to unearth the many secrets hidden within the
nooks and crannies of home. Please call Paula at
978 762-0208 x104 if you will be attending.

Memory Café is coming to the Senior Center! A Memory Café is a welcoming place
for people with forgetfulness or other changes in their thinking and for their
family and friends.
Memory Cafés meet at a variety of places in Massachusetts communities. Each
memory café is different. Some cafés invite guest artists, some offer information
about memory changes and all cafés are about relaxing and chatting. All cafés
share these goals:
• To help guests feel comfortable and to know they are not alone.
• To talk with others who understand what you are going through.
• To leave behind limitations and instead focus on strengths.
• To enjoy the company of others.
• To explore something new.
Join us for refreshments, activities and conversation in a welcoming place for
caregivers and individuals living with memory changes October 9th and November
13th 1:30-3pm. RSVP requested but not required. For further information, contact
Judith Ryan 978-762-0208
MEMORY CAFÉ
It’s that time of year again! If you are enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medi-
care Advantage Plan (HMO/PPO), expect an information packet from your plan by the end of
September. It is important to understand and save this information: it explains the changes in
your plan for 2019. Premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and the drugs covered by your plan can
change significantly! During Medicare Open Enrollment, you can adjust your plan for next year.
SHINE Counselors help you understand your plan changes as well as other options you may
have. Call now to discuss your insurance questions, schedule your SHINE phone or face-to-face
appointment, or learn about group meetings during the Open Enrollment from October 15th
through December 7th! REMINDER: Be on the alert for your new Medicare card in the
mail and as always, bring your card and drug list to your appointment!
You can call the Danvers Council on Aging at 978-762-0208 or call 1-800-AGE-INFO (1-800-
243-4636), then press or say 3. If you get the SHINE answering machine, leave your name
and number. A volunteer will call you back, as soon as possible.
