Free nutrition counseling for seniors at the JCC
Want to eat healthier to be healthier? If
you’re age 60 or older or a caregiver for
a senior, you are eligible to receive free
nutrition counseling at the JCC.
Nutrition counseling
appointments are available the
third Monday of every month
from 11 a.m. to noon and from
1–2 p.m. Registered Dietitian
Laurie Zirilli, MA, RD, CDN,
is a consulting dietitian for the
Onondaga County Office for
Aging and will provide this service at the
JCC.
Whether you are newly diagnosed with
an illness that requires you to alter your
eating habits, or just need to discuss proper
nutrition, Zirilli is available
to help. Again, there is no
charge for this service, however
voluntary contributions are
accepted and appreciated.
A nutrition counseling
appointment is required to meet
with Zirilli. To schedule an
appointment, contact Cindy
Stein at 315-445-2040, ext. 104, or email
cstein@jccsyr.org.
Do you know how to “Google” something,
setup your email or keep track of
appointments using an online calendar? If
you’d like to become more proficient with
these skills and many more computer, tablet
or smartphone tools, then look to the JCC
of Syracuse.
Starting in November we’ll be rolling
out our “Digital Basics” classes to help
adults and seniors of any age become
more proficient and confident in their use
of technology. Each class will focus on a
different aspect of your digital life—from
Web browsing and email, to contacts and
calendars. Learn what “The Cloud” is and
how to best organize and find your files.
The first set of Digital Basics classes will
focus on using Google’s free software as
an intro into the digital world with no
extra purchase cost needed. Learn simple
tricks and workflows that will help save
you time and frustration. Look for future
announcements and information posted
on our website www.jccsyr.org about
upcoming classes. For more information
and suggestions on classes and content,
contact Cindy at 315-445-2040, ext. 104, or
cstein@jccsyr.org.
