What is all the FUSS in Atlanta? Seniors to get practical aid...

Atlanta City Councilmember Natalyn M. Archibong and DeKalb County Commissioner Larry Johnson will host the 12th Annual Focus Upon Senior Services Seminar (FUSS) on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Drew Charter School, 301 East Lake Boulevard.

City officials will be on hand to answer water and sewer billing questions. Representatives from Georgia Power and Atlanta Gas Light will also be available to speak about money-saving ideas such as senior discounts. The Atlanta Police Department and Atlanta Fire and Rescue will speak about the new Smart 911 program and Grady Health Services will be offering free blood pressure and diabetes screening.

Although the program will be held in District 5, it is open to the general public.
