Solvang Senior Center Presents Inaugural Fall Lecture Series

Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.

Solvang, California—Solvang Senior Center announces the launch of their fall Health and Wellbeing Lecture Series on Tuesday, September 12 at 4:00 p.m. at the Center. The first presentation of the series, Cannabis Basics for Active Aging Adults: An Introduction to Medical Use, will be hosted by Kandice Hawes and Sue Taylor from The Farmacy in Santa Ynez. A CNN feature in July interviewed Sue—a senior citizen and former Catholic school principal—who shares the benefits of plants over pills. The first lecture series provides accurate, evidence-based information that will dispel misconceptions and help seniors make informed decisions about cannabis’ potential benefits.

The Center considers itself the go-to place for active aging adults, a term encouraged by Executive Director Ellen Albertoni to include the new generation of seniors. “We are the hub for adults 55-plus who are looking for a sense of community; a place to meet and make new friends, a place to learn new skills, expand one’s mind and exercise one’s body,” says Albertoni. “Our new lecture series is the perfect way to explore additional opportunities that enhance their well-being and quality of life.”
