"Live and Learn," a video magazine show produced by Aging Services, will present a special live call-in show at 1 p.m., Friday April 16. "Where Do I Go For Answers on Aging?" will feature Aging Services Director June Pederson and a panel of experts. The program is shown on 5 CITY-TV, the local government access cable channel.

Pedersen said some of the issues that could be discussed include finances, in-home services, volunteering, senior centers, healthy living classes, Medicare, prescription drugs, transportation and caregiving. She said the call-in show is designed to connect older adults and their families with the options and services available.
