Prediabetes Awareness & Diabetes Prevention: What You Need To Know January 18, 2021 - Diabetes awareness and prevention is always a hot topic among the senior population, but what about prediabetes? Awareness of prediabetes is incredibly important to our overall health, yet the CDC estimates a staggering 88 million American adults have prediabetes and 84% of those are unaware they have it! So what is prediabetes? Simply put, prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes.

  • Araldi & Pappas Concert

    9:50 am
    10/01/2018

    When they were in high school together, Rich Araldi and Jim Pappas spent every moment they could find playing music. Jim has enjoyed great success from being music director at the most prestigious venues in Atlantic City to movies and tours, to his current position as music director for the legendary Smokey Robinson! Rich’s accomplishments, while seemingly more modest, have been exactly the right fit. A life of service through music has seen Rich, after a stint as a touring musician, as a church music director over the past three decades, a music educator, and over the past thirty years serving the senior community through music at a robust pace. Rich’s non-profit organization “Sammy 16” provides music for those without the means to access it. This October, after a hiatus of over forty years, Jim and Rich will be playing together once again, “for the first time!”
