special
county-wide
event,
to

To
start,
our
show
and
share
information
about
no
senior
eats
alone
day
is

director
of
the
baltimore

Their
cognitive
status,
having
a
healthy
meal
with
someone
else,
decreases
our
blood
pressure
and
our
cross
cholesterol,
and
just
that
feeling
of
loneliness
that
we
can
hopefully
overcome
by
having
a
meal
with
someone
else.
We
all
know
that
when
you're
you're
preparing
a
meal
for
yourself,
you
may
not
put
the
time
and
energy
into
putting
together
a
healthy,
nutritious
meal.
Sometimes
you
may
even
skip
a
meal
so
that
emphasis
on
eating
with
someone
else
is
really
critical
to
us.
B
So
all
20
of
our
senior
centers
are
going
to
be
participating
as
well
with
the
not
just
the
meal,
but
educational
seminars,
some
entertainment
really
making
it
a
lively
event
for
the
day.
So
we're
built
hoping
to
build
the
impact
of
the
day
in
our
third
year
to
outreach
to
our
clients,
long-term
care
facilities.
We're
really
trying
to
expand
each
year
to
include
more
and
more
older
adults
in
our
community.
B
Well,
the
simplest
way
is
to
identify
an
older
adult
and
share
a
meal
with
them.
Go
to
their
house,
bring
them
to
your
house,
go
to
a
restaurant
with
one
of
our
partners
or,
if
you're
part
of
an
organization
provide
a
space
so
that
seniors
can
come
together
with
others
and
have
a
meal
in
your
organization
that
could
be
a
community
center
places
of
worship.
B
Anyone
really
can
host
a
special
meal
and
then
help
us
to
promote
our
special
event
to
all
of
your
friends
and
your
organizations
or
as
an
individual
sign
up
at
a
local
senior
center
or
one
of
our
senior
housing
facilities.
That
will
be
offering
a
meal
invite
older
adults
to
join
you
and
and
just
come
together
and
be
part
of
the
day
with
us.
A
B
B
B
And
we
can
talk
about
all
of
the
marketing
benefits,
for
that
once
a
restaurant
or
a
food
carryout
is
registered
with
us,
then
they'll
be
also
on
our
website.
So
just
remember
that
you
can
go
to
the
site-
that's
listed
here
on
the
screen
and
call
our
offices
and
we'll
get
you
there.
So
we
can
all
be
part
of
this
restaurant
owners,
consumers.
