AFCI
Hats off to John Reilly, AFCI friend, who is painting one of our benches! John has demonstrated talent, and we can’t wait to see the finished product! How about you – would you like to help us out in this way? You may take a bench to your home to finish. Or maybe you’re more of a novice. Well, Kate Webb, the intrepid Coordinator of BAAM and great AFCI friend, has talent to spare. You may come help her on Thursday, September 8, 10-2:30 – Forest Rd., across from Telstar. For more information: coordinator@bethelareaartsandmusic.com. And thanks!
Great news from AARP: approved by the Food and Drug Administration, over-the-counter hearing aids – more affordable and more convenient. The new devices – designed for those with mild to moderate hearing loss – will be sold at stores and online without a medical exam, prescription, or special fitting by an audiologist. The approved hearing aids could be available by mid-October, according to the FDA. For more information: https://www.aarp.org/health/healthy-living/info-2022/fda-over-the-counter-hearing-aids.html?
