[November 03, 2010]  The Logan County Triad has partnered with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office to bring the Silver Beat training to the Oasis senior center on Nov. 17 from 10 to 11 a.m. This free program will inform older adults of help that is available in these tough economic times.

HardwareErin Ruebbelke, policy adviser for the attorney general, will discuss the ins and outs of reverse mortgages, the new rules for credit cards, and how to avoid counterfeit check scams. Seniors will come away with the information needed to protect themselves and others from scams, frauds and other deceptive business practices. The attorney general's Every Cent Counts guide for seniors will be available at the event.

Refreshments will be served.

Logan County Triad is committed to educating older adults of Logan County on how to prevent being the victims of frauds and scams, and to alleviate the fear they may feel of being victimized. It is comprised of local social service agencies, law enforcement and senior volunteers.

For more information on the Silver Beat training, contact Erin Ruebbelke at 217-557-1982. For more information on the Logan County Triad, contact Sarah Powell at 217-528-4035.
