As a volunteer organization, Merrymeeting Bay TRIAD continues to seek ways to communicate with seniors in the community regarding matters that affect their safety and well-being.

One important aspect of this communication is that it be a two-way street — both incoming and outgoing.

First, a huge thank you to People Plus for providing this space to TRIAD so that we may share information that can enhance a senior’s well-being, or — conversely — warn others about activity that might adversely affect seniors and their families. However, if someone has a question or concern about such activity, whom do they contact — how will we know?

If you have a question or concern about something that “just doesn’t seem or sound right” that relates to the safety and wellbeing of seniors in the community — or someone has become the victim of a scam — please contact your local law enforcement office. You may also contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection hotline at 626-8849.

TRIAD includes information about scams that target elders on its website so that others can be alerted and avoid becoming victims. For more more information about such activity, visit www.merrymeetingbaytriad.org or call 751-6959. Thanks!
