- Thursday, Sept. 17
- Bus departs: 8 a.m.
- Aging Partners, Victory Park Senior Center, 600 S. 70th St.

About the Trip:
Our adventure begins at the Lied Lodge with a boxed lunch. After lunch, we will head to the farm side and split into two groups to rotate between a scenic Discovery Ride of the grounds and a guided tour of the Arbor Lodge Mansion led by staff in period attire. Afterward, you can take the Apple Harvest and Sorting Room tour and have the opportunity to purchase apples from the farm. Please note these tours require a lot of walking. If you are not comfortable with extensive walking, you can opt for self-guided apple picking in the orchard. The mansion involves many stairs and no elevator, though you can enjoy a self-guided tour of the main floor, which features Victorian furnishings and a Tiffany skylight.

🚨 SCAM ALERT FOR SENIORS & FAMILIES 🚨
We have received reports of callers contacting local seniors claiming to be from Aging Partners, claiming that the individual is owed money by Aging Partners. During the call, the target is transferred to a second person who instructs them to complete several steps to process a "refund." The caller then begins to ask for sensitive personal and financial information.

Thankfully, the individuals realized it was a scam and hung up. No money was lost.

Please keep these important safety facts in mind:
- Aging Partners will never call to offer refunds, or demand money, gift cards, gold bars or crypto currency.
- If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately. Do not provide any personal details, credit card numbers or bank information, or transfer funds.
- Verify the caller: If you are unsure whether a call is legitimate, hang up and call Aging Partners at 402-441-7070 or reach out directly to your established Aging Partners staff person, if you have one.

What to do if you receive a suspicious call:
1. Hang up immediately. Do not press any buttons or speak to the caller further.
2. Verify directly: Call Aging Partners back at 402-441-7070 or reach out directly to your regular contact person, if you have one.
3. If you believe you have been targeted by a scam or have shared financial or personal details with an unauthorized caller, contact your bank and local law enforcement immediately.
