Senior Safety Seminar Series
The Patrols of SaddleBrooke One and SaddleBrooke TWO, in partnership with the SaddleBrooke Public Affairs Commission and Senior Village at SaddleBrooke, are offering a series of free safety seminars this year.
Most of us want to live independently but are quick to admit that we have done little to equip our homes or adjust our lifestyles for comfortable and safe aging. These seminars offer ideas on how to make life safer now and in the future.
All seminars are from 2 to 4 p.m.
Upcoming topics include:
March 22: “How Safe Is Your Home?” in the SaddleBrooke One Activity Center
April 5: “Safe Movement: Does Your Body Keep You Safe?” in the SaddleBrooke One Activity Center
To recommend topics and speakers, please email [email protected].
Music Matinee, Feb. 20
Senior Village begins the free Music Matinee series again on Feb. 20 in the Sonoran Room at MountainView from 2 to 4 p.m. Two performers will be featured.
The first performer will be Vincent Biase, a renowned pianist who has been part of the American Cabaret on Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth I cruise lines. The next performers will be the Catalina Chorale with Randall Dighton at the guitar.
Matinees in 2023 will feature a variety of talent in SaddleBrooke. Programs may vary each month. All of SaddleBrooke is invited. If you have suggestions for future performers, please contact JoAnn Wilbour at [email protected].

Save on Arizona Taxes
Ed Kula
The State of Arizona allows you to direct state tax dollars to a Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO). It’s called the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, and Senior Village is designated as a QCO. Individuals may deduct up to $400, and married couples filing jointly may deduct up to $800. Donations of lesser amounts may also be applied to the tax credit. You will experience a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of Arizona State tax you owe when you donate to Senior Village using the Arizona Tax Credit form.
It’s not too late. You can make a donation right up to April 15, 2023, and claim the deduction on your 2022 tax returns. Please consult your tax preparer about the process.
The Senior Village QCO number is 20990.
The Federal ID number is 47-5552021.
Ask your tax preparer for the Arizona Tax Credit form and direct a donation to Senior Village in return for a credit on your state taxes.
