DRY EYE ~ CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT
Monday, October 21, 11 a.m. 
 
Do you have dry, itchy eyes that feel irritated and look red? Does it sometimes feel like there is sand or grit between your eyes and your eyelids?
 
The main reasons that people have dry eyes are because they do not produce enough tears, or the tears they do make are low in quality. Healthy tears have three components: oil, water, and mucin. Tears missing any of these vital components are unable to deliver necessary nutrients to the eye. Other reasons that people develop dry eyes include their environment, age, and even their lifestyle.
 
Join Dr. Lee of Nevada Eye Physicians on October 21 and to learn more about the causes, symptoms and treatment of Dry Eyes and the importance of having your eyes checked on a regular basis to preserve your precious sight.
 
Please register at the Front Desk by October 19.

AGING WELL WITH MODERN AGING
An initiative by Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
 
Tuesday, October 22, 6 p.m.
 
We are living longer, but normal aging today means our health spans are shorter than our lifespans. In fact, one-fifth of an individual’s life is lived suffering from a disease or chronic condition. Disease undermines our ability to maintain control of our day to day lives. In essence, disease ages us, and before we know it, it has cost us our independence.
 
We are looking for participants to help beta test a new app called Modern Aging. Our goal is to help users monitor and improve cognitive, emotional and physical well being through various activities which will be compared to their historical baseline data to detect improvements, declines and trends. Additional layers of examination will be available through assessments which will be taken periodically to validate progress. Through personalized coaching and shared results, Modern Aging will help individuals stay attuned to their overall health.
 
Our team includes medical consultants, who are experts within their fields, dedicated to analyzing the data and identifying any concerns or correlations. Your information will be fully secured and never be sold or shared with third parties; it remains entirely your property. Should you choose to withdraw from the study, we will promptly delete your data. 
As a token of appreciation, participants will receive gift cards upon completing the study.
 
Please note participation requires an iPhone, as the app is currently available only for iOS users.  A light meal of sandwiches will be served during the presentation.
 
Please sign up at the Front Desk by October 20.

LEARN THE FACTS & MYTHS ABOUT REVERSE MORTGAGES
Wednesday, October 23, 11 a.m.
 
Do you have enough financial resources for a comfortable retirement? Did you know a reserve mortgage can help extend the life of your financial portfolio?
 
Join Cory Carstens, of Longbridge Financial, to learn the facts and myths about reverse mortgages. In recent years, the reverse mortgage product has changed significantly. It has become an affordable, mainstream part of the retirement planning process. 
 
A reverse mortgage is now a financial tool, which enables you to make the most of your resources, using strategies you could not have imagined a few years ago. This safe, cost-effective way to access home equity can provide a tax-free supplement to retirement income, while preserving liquid assets and portfolio investments. 
 
Today, your home is considered another working asset to help you optimize your financial resources. Simply put, it allows you to take a dormant asset (home equity) and put it to work without changing your lifestyle or impacting retirement savings.
 
Come join Cory to learn more about how  reverse mortgages work.  Lunch will be served.   
 
Please register at the Front Desk by October 21.
