The Residence at Valley Farm

Attend a Dementia Friends Information Session on Tuesday May 9 at The Residence at Valley Farm to help break the stigma associated with the disease. Residents of all towns are welcome! 
This session is suitable for adults of all ages and children in middle school and older. You’ll learn the five key messages, the different types of dementia and their impact, what it’s like to live with dementia, and the small things you can do to make a difference. You'll also learn about the extensive resources and support that are available for care partners and to help people with dementia have a more fulfilling life.
Turn your new understanding of dementia into practical action that can help someone with dementia living in our community. Actions can be as big or as small as you choose – because every action counts!

On Friday, May 17 at 11 a.m., Milford Town Library is proud to host Milford Federal Bank for this special event, Protect Your Identity &amp; Avoid Scams! Susan Carabbio, VP Retail Market Manager, will be offering some expert advice. No registration is required, and all are welcome.
New scams are being created every day in order to try and steal your hard-earned money, and your identity. And they are becoming more and more tricky to recognize. Thankfully, forewarned is forearmed! In this presentation we will be reviewing common types of fraud and financial exploitation, and who is at risk. You'll learn how to understand the warning signs in order to prevent and minimize exploitation, and how to find resources in order to make better-informed decisions. We'll cover topics ranging from charity and Internet scams, to investment fraud. Perhaps most importantly, we'll also discuss identity theft, offering tips on how you can protect yourself.

Learn the facts about esophageal cancer:
-Esophageal cancer has increased over 733% in the past four decades and is considered the fastest growing cancer in the US and western world.
-Risk factors include:
<ul><li>Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD, acid reflux, chronic heartburn),</li></ul>
<ul><li>obesity,</li></ul>
<ul><li>poor nutrition,</li></ul>
<ul><li>tobacco use,</li></ul>
<ul><li>excessive alcohol use,</li></ul>
<ul><li>Barrett’s esophagus.</li></ul>
-As one of the deadliest cancers, esophageal cancer has an overall 5-year survival rate of only 21.7%.
-There are no routine or standard screenings to improve early detection of esophageal cancer.
-Symptoms often arise late, once the cancer is considered advanced or “distant” (spread to lymph nodes and other organs.)
-Stage IV esophageal cancer has a survival rate of only 5.6%.
-Despite these facts, esophageal cancer research is extremely underfunded.

Medway High School

Registration is OPEN for the Youth Leadership Academy in MEDWAY!
There are four sessions available, each one-week long. Sessions start July 8, July 15, July 22, and July 29. They are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Monday through Thursday) and 9 a.m. to noon on graduation day (Friday).
With a goal of developing youth leaders in the community, the Academy includes icebreakers, games, activities, and demonstrations aimed at building self-confidence, problem-solving, goal-setting, and communication skills in an atmosphere of fun and adventure. A highlight of the Academy is the high ropes course, which offers an opportunity for personal challenge in a supportive environment.&nbsp;
Although the Norfolk County&nbsp;Sheriff’s Office runs this program, this is not a ‘boot camp’ style experience. We engage students in a fun and friendly way.
This program is for children aged 10 to 14 years old. $199 per child per week ($35 if they qualify for free or reduced school lunch). Register at <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyouthacademymedway.campbrainregistration.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0n6YNSAtWXXgv0JoCfdWeRKQVlP2GKZpIXnfkXRYeP5i64hF6Ay52Y33w_aem_AZqYwzK3wfY06SxzhZRHty0HKDkEFIH0guyN18QBEGthK64VZZuF0CeZZoOJ2e2Tr0bpCCxPvmh8AAsvjJdIFVAd&amp;h=AT3YsJDm4b3I3cGCg4zaPWQjyxZvZXhbJ17NYg3xZyh3sxL4IJPzBv8DP7d2rwNPZ95ANOXfUsOOe15mbxeIzqvZiC_Q2YtqLaNGa4q7m-YjRSwoOL8YtaS_keYaox0f0sB1&amp;__tn__=-UK-y-R&amp;c[0]=AT1iTpebNw-im9Ckw8DJJqUjvUEzhzofIhQ2915nj_W7Pb5oBCpxfiqENHVw-Jhe5Fn8kzoQ7ED6U7Xwa_vJlDUjRy1Jbi5r3go50qvfb80E13HhFoAsIAv6Q60UCCAfXeoJM9y1Rkn2-ocmqGZSIoaJm68SlIVnpZGc54h7OWOxq_icIZrPhTcEt3JGK8RTARwiACJqgs1EinyqER8ZN-0SZiG7sPSQskTR" rel="nofollow" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://youthacademymedway.campbrainregistration.com/</a>
