National Volunteer week

Mobile Meals showed their appreciation to their volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 27-May 3.
During the week, lunch and a small gift were given to the 600 plus volunteers.
Volunteers deliver meals five days a week with week-end meals, if needed, delivered on Friday.
Mobile Meals could not continue to provide home-delivered meals without the dedicated volunteers to ensure that "no one goes hungry in our community". We are currently in dire need of volunteers.  Please call the MM office at 330-394-2538 for more information.  Please help us to help others.

Local Attorney Speaks About "Caring For Parents"

Attorney Jack N. Alpern spoke at the invitation of PBS Channels 45 & 49, "Caring For Your Parents" workshop, co-sponsored by Summa Health Care of Akron.
The workshop was the local response of Channels 45 & 49 to the nationally telecast series using the same title which the stations carried.
Attorney Alpern's topic, "Nursing Home Costs: How to Plan for Nursing Home Care," he spoke about the toll in which the cost of nursing homes can take on your assets. Mr. Alpern said, "Nursing home costs are the single biggest threat to leaving any inheritance to your heirs when you pass away," The attorney emphasized that having long-term care insurance or gifting assets to children during lifetime may be the only remaining solution for this problem.
Attorney Alpern's presentation may be viewed in its entirety at http://wwwlpbs4549.org/caringforyourparents/nursinghome.htm, Mr. Alpern's firm, The Alpern Law Firm, concentrates on estate planning and elder law and has office in Warren, Youngstown and East Liverpool.
