borrowed from the office of the Chester Senior Resource Center located in the lower floor of the
Church of the Messiah on Rte. 24 in Chester N.J.

books, CDs, DVDs, and pamphlets which can help local residents to understand and take control
of their health issues.

answered without having to dig through the mounds of information found in libraries and on-
line. To schedule a time to pick up a bag at the Senior Resource Center please call the director,
