You
know
yes,
I,
believe
that
they
are
because
there's
more
to
offer.
You
know
the
with
some
of
the
different
programs,
especially
with
computers
coming
into
the
picture,
and
you
know,
use
the
tablets
and
their
phones,
and
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
seniors
that
they
just
don't
know
about
this
modern
technology.
You
know
I'm
a
senior
myself,
so
I
can't
just
say
you
know
them,
but
it's
it's
difficult.
B
A
B
Definitely
definitely
we
really
try
to
incorporate
that
information,
because
that's
the
way
of
the
future-
and
you
know
they
want
to
keep
moving,
you
know,
that's
we
always
tell
them,
keep
it
moving,
and
so,
if
they
want
to,
you
know,
continue
on,
and
you
know
it
with
our
society.
You
have
to
learn
how
to
know
sometimes.
A
B
We
do
various
various
field
trips
right
now,
as
you
know,
we're
part
of
Allegheny
County.
Also,
we
definitely
get
a
lot
more
funding
from
them
in
this
state,
so
they
have
this
program
called
the
ter
program
at
a
Terre
program.
They
give
us
different.
They
give
us
dollars
for
doing
more
arts
and
humanities,
just
life
skills,
so.
B
May
do
that
you
may
have
folks
coming
in
to
teaching
them
about
healthy,
cooking,
because
right
now
a
lot
of
the
seniors
are
living
alone.
They
used
to
have
big
families,
it's
hard
for
them
to
just
for
one
person.
They
don't
know
how
to
do
that.
So
it's
our
job
to
teach
them
how
to
do
a
lot
of
things
that
they
you
know
it's.
B
You
know
we
just
had.
We
just
had
a
group
come
from
the
Heart
Association,
because
the
Heart
Association
and
partners
giant
eagle
and
they
came
into
the
centers,
and
they
did
a
program
just
teaching
folks
how
to
cook
healthier
and
giant
eagle,
taking
them
out
to
the
stores
to
actually
teach
them
how
to
shop
for
this
food.
So
that's
one
of
the
opportunities
they
would
get
if
they
were
coming
to
the
Centers.
The
food
was
really
good.
B
A
A
B
Center
because
it
helped
me
to
understand
you
know
the
bigger
picture
so
being
in
that
Senior
Center
really,
and
it
also
motivated
me
to
want
to
go
and
be
a
part
to
help
all
of
the
centers,
because
you
know
with
fresh
ideas.
You
know,
there's
always
a
lot
of
valuable
information
that
you
need
to
bring
into
the
senior
centers,
not
just
with
a
lot
of
people,
think
that
they're
just
arts
and
crafts
projects
and
going
on
a
trip
now
and
again,
but
it's
not
just
learning
about
your
Medicare.
B
Keep
you
going,
you
know,
because
that's
the
purpose
and
that's
our
focus
is
to
keep
people
healthy
and
active.
That's
because
that's
what
our
Sooners
are
called
the
healthy
active
living
centers
and
as
long
as
you
can
keep
them
healthy
and
active.
They
can
remain
in
their
homes
and
they
will
not
be
going
to
you
know
a
nursing
home
or
you
know,
or
moving
in
with
a
son
or
a
daughter
when
they
want
to
keep
their
independence
and
that's
basically
what
we're
trying
to
do
at
the
Senior
Center.
So
it's
actually
quite
a.
B
Year
old
job
in
your
new
job-
oh
yes,
yes,
on
different
levels,
of
course,
but
on
the
the
level
of
when
I
was
in
the
center,
it
was
actually
meeting
new
people
learning
about
them
because
you
know
seniors
have
a
lot
to
offer.
You
know
if
you
take
the
time
to
sit
and
listen
to
them.
A
lot
of
them
were
talking
about
the
World
War
two
days.
A
lot
of
them
were
talking
about.
You
know,
there's
different
places.
B
They've
traveled
to
you
can
learn
a
lot
from
you
know
just
sitting
and
listening
to
them,
and
that's
what
I
really
like
to
do
and
that's
what
I
encourage
you
know
other
people
to
come
into
the
centers
and
just
listen
to
them
and
talk
to
them
and
then
going
into
the
supervisory
position.
It
just
helped
me
to
help
a
lot
of
the
other
centers.
B
As
far
as
you
know,
where
to
find
you
know
funding
for
things
that
they
want
help
them
to
figure
out
how
to
do
a
special
arts
and
crafts
or
to
go
to
the
plays
or
to
get
more
people
to
go
and
just
interact
and
bring
in
the
community
into
the
center.
That
was
a
you
know.
That's
a
major
part
of
this
picture
that
we
want,
because
we
want
to
incorporate
everybody
into
their
senior
centers.
You
know
not
just
seniors
but
to
let
everyone
know
that
we're
there
we're
available
to
them.
B
We
could
help
in
various
ways
when
they
want.
You
know
like
a
lot
of
people
come
in
and
just
say
you
know,
I
had
my
mom
I,
don't
know
what
to
do
with
her.
You
know
I
have
to
work.
Can
you
help
me
if
we
can't
help
you
at
our
Center?
We
make
it.
You
know
we
have
the
resources
to
tell
you
where
to
go
and
how
to
help
your
you
know
your
senior.
So
we
really
feel
that
you
know
both
jobs
have
been
very
rewarding
our.
B
Yes,
not
in
large
numbers,
yet
and
I
feel
that
we
do
still
have
to
change
some
things
in
the
senior
centers,
and
that
is
you
know,
because
some
folks
want
to
come.
They
think
that
the
senior
centers
are
just
to
come
and
play
cards
or
play
bingo,
but
that's
not
the
case.
Like
I
said
we
do
have
some
learning
opportunities
for
them
and
a
lot
of
baby
boomers.
They
want
more
knowledge,
they
want
more
to
learn
more
things.
They
want
it.
They
do
want
to
travel.
B
They
do
want
to
know
how
to
do
things
that
they
wish
they
could
have
done
when
they
were
working.
You
know
like
I
wish
I
could
have
taken
the
sewing
class
I
wish
I
could
have
learned
how
to
knit
I
wish.
I
could
have
learn
how
to
do.
You
know
the
pottery
things,
but
you
know
you
just
those
we're
wishful
thinking,
but
now
they
can
come
into
our
senior
centers
and
they
you
know
we
try
to
take
suggestions
from
them.
What
do
you
guys
want?
Because
that
really
that's
really
what
helps
to
run
the
center?
B
Things
in
the
centers
that
you
know
I
see
now
that
I
don't
want
to
do,
but
I
feel
that
as
a
Boomer
I
could
come
in
and
maybe
offer
some
suggestions
that
the
Sooners
may
want
to
do.
They
want
to
do
art
classes
and
they
may,
and
they
want
maybe
one
to
take
trips
to
different
places,
and
you
know
just
to
find
Pittsburghers
very
interesting.
You
know
and
there's
a
lot
of
things,
even
a
Pittsburgh
that
the
seniors
haven't
haven't
done.
B
A
B
It
even
tour
is
that
that
you
know
at
the
Allegheny
County
Jail.
You
know
some
people
are
interested
in
that.
So,
but
you
know
this
is
our
city
and
they're
just
and
they're
in
that
one
little
community
and
it's
our
job
I
feel
just
sort
of
like
break
them
out
of
that,
and
you
know,
have
them
venture
out
a
little
bit
even
though
they're
afraid
they
are
afraid.
You
know
because
they
hear
things
on
the
news.
B
They
don't
want
to
go
different
places,
but
you
have
to
you
know,
go
in
groups
and
let
them
know
that
they're
safe
with
you
know
with
you
with
our
staff,
and
you
know
it's
fine.
You
know
it's
fine
for
some
of
them,
but
we
still
have
to
get
them
in
and
also
you
know,
there's
different
things
that
boomers
want
to
do
exercise.
We
have
a
lot
of.
B
B
B
Like
okay,
okay,
we're
coming
we're
coming
in,
but
you
have
to
make
it
fun
and
you
have
to
make
it
something
that
they
want
to
do
all
the
time
like
here
at
the
Brighton
Center.
They
have
a
wonderful
yoga
instructor
and
she
does
I
believe
twice
a
week
and
Kim
is
really
great.
You
know
doing
you
know
with
her
class.
She
really
does
a
fantastic
job
and
we
have
a
lot
of
other
classes
at
the
other
centers.
We
have
a
class
in
yoga
class
and
Morningside.
You
know
it's
there.
We
have.
B
B
Do
like
my
job
I,
actually
love
my
job,
I!
Think
it's
a
you
know
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
anyone
that
could
be
in
my
position.
I'm.
You
know
to
work
with
seniors.
What
more
can
you
ask
for
these
folks
have
been
on
some
of
them
or
we
have
I,
went
to
a
100
year
birthday
party
at
Homewood
last
year.
You
know
yeah.
