Program for seniors is topic of November meeting

The speaker at the club’s Nov. 17 meeting will be Richard Bradie, who represents TRIAD, a cooperative program involving law enforcement agencies, community groups and senior citizens, working together to keep seniors safe from physical and financial crime and to promote their safety and welfare.

Triad and its parent group, the National Association of Triads Inc., has two goals: (1) To reduce crimes against the elderly and (2) to reduce the unwarranted fear of crime that seniors often experience.

A local Triad conducts organized programs and activities to meet its objectives. Some examples are: Files of Life, wherein magnetic refrigerator cards are distributed to the elderly that capture information for use in case of emergencies; educational talks given to senior groups on crime prevention, scams and schemes, or personal safety; senior visitations or adopt-a-senior; and inter-generational programs.

Mr. Bradie graduated from Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., in 1958 with a degree in psychology. He served two years in the U.S. Army as a photo interpretation officer.

He spent the next 40 years working for a civilian firm  as a contractor to several government agencies, retiring in 2001.

He and his wife, Kathleen, moved to Lake of the Woods in 1999.

Since retiring, Mr. and Mrs. Bradie have been engaged in volunteer efforts, among them, TRIAD, the AARP and the Orange County Visitors Bureau.

The meeting will take place at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 17 in the Community Meeting Room of the Woods Center. Visitors are welcome.

More information about TRIAD is available at the Web site of the National Association of Triads, Inc.
