In celebration of Financial Literacy Month, LifeSTEPS is joining with financial institutions, schools, and non-profits across the United States to share valuable financial tools with our residents. We will host workshops to assist residents in creating the foundations for good financial health: the monthly budget, credit scores, and financial goals. Check out this great site for ideas on how to be a responsible money manager!
Financial Literacy for All Ages
March continues the “Wellness” theme for LifeSTEPS curriculum. Today, March 12, Vintage Zinfandel senior community is hosting a Health Fair. Among the presenters will be diabetes educators, a fall prevention coach and a cognition coach. These professionals will be available to answer questions and provide literature. LifeSTEPS is dedicated to helping aging adults live their best life by providing social and supportive services tailored specifically to their needs.
Other March activities at Vintage Zinfandel in Santa Rosa include: Healthy Spirit Class, Diabetes Awareness Education, Computer Skills Training, Financial Workshops and more.
During the month of February the Effie Yeaw Nature Center visited LifeSTEPS After School Programs in the Sacramento area. Their knowledgeable staff brought in props, such as animal skulls, snake skin shreddings, and even live animals! The students were taught about the local animals that are native to the Sacramento area. Each lesson was focused around different places you would find these animals, like the local rivers or woods.
Not only were these students learning about their environment, but they were truly enjoying the activities. LifeSTEPS is grateful for the Effie Yeaw Nature Center and their wonderful employees for coming to our communities to teach youth about the biological life that can be found all around us!

How will my action make a difference?
Right now, legislators are hearing from hundreds of interest groups and constituents on a huge variety of issues. In order to pass the California Homes and Jobs Act, we have to do everything we can to get legislators’ attention and explain that the people and communities in their districts will benefit from investment in homes and jobs. The next group to vote on the bill will be Assembly members, and every signature on this petition goes straight to them.
Take Action:
Sign our Petition asking Assembly members to make homes and jobs a priority in 2014.
