Senior Notes
Seniors can learn about their bone density with test
The Foundation for Osteoporosis Research and Education (FORE) invites all senior citizens in the Saratoga and Los Gatos area to take part in a bone density screening on Feb. 16, from 10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. at the Longs Drugs at 12940 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road in Saratoga. The test is a noninvasive, painless scan of the forearm that takes seven minutes and uses an extremely small amount of X-ray radiation. The bone-testing machine is called a pDEXA and is used on a rotating basis throughout Central and Northern California.
No appointments are necessary. Technicians perform the screenings on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost of the test is $30, with proceeds supporting the FORE bone density testing program. Call 510.832.2663 for more information.
Free income tax help, counseling offered to seniors
Senior citizens, the disabled and low-income persons can obtain free tax preparation help and counseling at the town of Los Gatos Neighborhood Center, 208 E. Main St., every Tuesday, from 9 to 11 a.m., now through April 10. The program is provided by the American Association of Retired Persons. Appointments are required; call 408.354.1514 .
