It is a goal at Apostolic Christian Village (ACV) to help provide education to our church community, as well as the wider community, regarding topics that are especially pertinent to those who are 65+.  With this in mind, we are launching a series of lunch and learn opportunities in the community room at ACV. Our first topic is Medicare fraud and will take place on March 13 at 11:30 AM.  We would love to have anyone join us that is interested in expanding their knowledge in the area of aging with grace and wisdom.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Dawn Steiner.  We request that you register at 330-927-1010.  As always, we appreciate your love and support.  Click here for more information
