What our members are saying about Ashby Village and why they joined:
"I have seen too many people slip into a closed-off and lonely old age, and I myself am not about to go gentle into that not-so-good night. For me, Ashby Village is a starting place for options, opportunities and openings into community." - Ann Martin, new Ashby Village member |

Free Vision Services
The Lions Center for the Blind provides vision rehabilitation services and life enrichment courses to help people adjust to vision loss, increase their independence and maintain quality of life. If you are having trouble reading, doing tasks around your home, walking around independently, or if your vision problems are interfering in any way with your life, the Lions Center can help. Services are free for anyone experiencing vision loss over 55 and residing in Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano counties. Call Tina Coffield at 510-450-1580 for more information. |

From our Event Committee
In July members met for a delicious and lively lunch at Cafe Leila in Berkeley. The Rockridge Library was the setting for an interesting and informative Computer Workshop where we learned the ins and outs of Social Networking. The Committee is taking a well-earned rest in August. There are already many exciting activities that we are scheduling for the Fall, including dinner and Jazz at Yoshi's in Oakland, Wine Tasting at Vintage Berkeley, attending a play about Emily Dickinson at the Berkeley City Club and a Pot Luck Dinner at a member's home. We hope you will join us at these Member Only Events. Exact dates and locations will be in our next Newsletter and on our Website. |
