What can seniors do to protect themselves from scams directed at the elderly? Elder Law Attorney Doris Gelbman will address this issue at a meeting hosted by the Senior Statesmen of Virginia at Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 1:30pm. The meeting is free and open to the public.
