VNA's "Shoo the Flu" Vaccination Clinics Begin September 13th
Flu season is here, and the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is preparing for its annual “Shoo the Flu” vaccination program. Public vaccination clinics begin September 13th and will go until November 19th. The pneumonia shot will also be offered at each VNA clinic. The VNA will offer two types of flu vaccinations: a preservative-free high-dose vaccine, and a quadrivalent vaccine, which also comes in a preservative-free form. The high-dose vaccine contains four times the amount of antigens and is only for those individuals who are 65 years or older. The quadrivalent vaccine is for individuals 10 years or older and offers broader coverage than the regular flu shot.

League of Women Voters of the Space Coast Hosts Timely Topics Luncheon
"THE INNOCENT AT RISK - HUMAN TRAFFICKING"
RSVP by September 17th for League of Women Voters of the Space Coast's Timely Topics Luncheon, "The Innocent at Risk - Human Trafficking" on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at 11:30 A.M. at the Tradewinds Restaurant at Duran Golf Club, 7032 Stadium Parkway in Viera.
A panel discussion will enlighten and educate on how rampant Human Trafficking is in the state of Florida, what to look for and how to report this horrendous crime. Panelists include Assistant State Attorney Julia Lynch, Division Chief of Sex Crimes and Child Abuse Division, 18th Circuit Court, Brevard and Tara Hormell, Executive Director, Children's Home Society, Central Florida and Brevard Divisions. Most often we think of Human Trafficking as being somewhere else, perhaps another country, not here in America. The truth is that Human Trafficking is in our states, our cities and towns. While women and children are the primary targets, men are also victims.
Cost is $22. RSVP to Doreen Archer at 321-622-4071 or darcher14@cfl.rr.com by September 17th with name, phone number and choice of entrée - Chicken Parmesan with Penne Pasta, Asian Pork Tenderloin with Rice Pilaf or Vegetarian on request. Beverage, rolls, tossed salad and cookies are included. Pay at the door with cash or check. Public is invited.
