Look at photos of your new grandchild and watch them take their first steps. Receive an invitation to a friend's 50th wedding anniversary party. Join a group chat and keep in touch with extended family, daily. Or, simply log on to check today's weather and news. But you know how?
Will Bill Gates actually donate $1 for every time I share this meme? Is Facebook preventing me from seeing what my friends post? Have I been hacked? Find out how to tell truth from garbage and keep yourself informed.

debilitating falls by doing exercises that strengthen your upper and lower body in sitting and standing. Our class also includes exercises specifically designed to improve your balance and endurance.
