Recently we ran posts on Covia’s Well connected service. The City of Walnut Creek’s Arts and Recreation department recently found the link to their summer catalog. Covia’s Summer Catalog
The catalog runs 48 pages, so it’s not possible to list all classes. Here is a sampling:
Fun & Games: Charades
Mondays 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
A spin on the classic guessing game! Join a team, choose a person, place, thing, movie or book title, and give verbal clues, without giving the game away! Facilitated by Lisa Wynne

Health & Wellness: Long-Term Care Options & Medi-Cal
June 16 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join us for a discussion of the basics of Medi-Cal (Medicaid in states other than CA) coverage, and learn how to protect yourself and your assets by understanding Medi-Cal estate recovery rules, and spousal impoverishment provisions. We will also discuss Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers, which provide coverage for services normally provided in a nursing home.
Presented by Amber Roberts, LTC Advocate, California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform
