Bridging the Generation Gap: Phillip Marshall, a middle school student at Bailey School, Kingston, sang the “Star Spangled Banner” at the Salute to First Responders hosted by the residents of The Birchez at Chambers and Chambers Court, on Saturday, June 11, 2016. Phillip was joined by his younger brother William who provided commentary regarding our National Anthem. The Birchez at Chambers and Chambers Court adjoin Chambers School so the interaction between seniors and young people is often enhanced, whether just watching the kids play on the grounds of the school, in foster grandparent programs, in joint efforts at the school garden, or when the students come to events to read stories to the seniors. Shirley Whitlock, Community Outreach Coordinator for Birchez Associates, spoke for the many seniors in the audience, in thanking Phillip and William for their joint performance. Shirley also pointed out that there are so many young people doing great deeds in our communities yet so few examples of their stories in the press and social media.

The Birches at Chambers and Chambers Court hosted Town of Ulster Police Officer David Kimble today April 14, 2016 for a Senior Safety Workshop.

Officer Kimble presented an interactive workshop explaining some of the numerous scams currently happening in the Town of Ulster including the recent IRS scam, the emergency scam, telephone scam, computer scam, identity theft and mail fraud. He left hand outs with the residents explaining the scams and who to call if someone was a victim.

The most common to senior citizens is the "emergency scam" in which a senior receives a phone call saying "Grandma/pa I've been in an accident down south. I need money to get out of trouble. Please don't call my parents. Just send money to:"

Officer Kimble ensured that every resident in attendance had the phone number for the Ulster Police Department and his name.

Officer Kimble recognized that the Birches communities are considered one of the safest properties. Plans are for Office Kimble to make these workshops a quarterly event.
